Most interesting survey on this topic here: Artists don't think that piracy (sic) hurts them financially. Last edited by Farhad; 04-15-2011 at 12:39 PM. |

Sorry skypilotpete, I can't answer your question and I skimmed this thread twice to make sure that in the four pages of comments, so far, no one else has been able or willing to either. Perhaps a good ol' fashioned search engine might be your best choice.

I think it's been quite well answered.

One book does not equal six. Sure you could both read off of a single kindle displaying a single book just like a physical book but you know quite well that's not what this is about. |

It isn't a question anyone here would be qualified to give an answer to. If Amazon or Adobe add personally identifiable information to their ebooks that survives DRM circumvention they're not likely to want it to be common knowledge. And if anyone here did work for either of those companies and could give an answer they wouldn't.

I guess this is kind of selfanswering. If you deDRM B&N books you need your CC# because its part of the DRM. So there is obviously some kind of personal information used in DRM which is giving away your identity. As the tools for circumvention were created for personal use only and not for torrent uploads I should not think they remove the personal data.

My guess (guess) is that either there is no remaining personally identifying, track-able information remaining post-drm removal, or it isn't being actively looked for, otherwise we probably would have heard of lots of people getting in trouble by now.

It is not preaching - breaking the law is a serious matter. I strip the DRM off every book I get. I will NEVER let anyone else have the copy I retained for my personal use. I don't want to be the poster boy for ebook piracy - and there will be one.

For another seasonal example, think of the Haggadah. Now there is an example of something I don't think I would ever want to go completely electronic. A household "blank check" for ebook lending/use is quite appropriate, and since the average household probably has 4.2 people or something like that, limiting it to 6 devices is a reasonable approximation because one person may have multiple devices. Although it should ideally be the number of devices in the household, that would be much more difficult to implement. (Among the hurdles, take, for example, the fact that I need to de-DRM some books I have purchased just so I can read them on my preferred device). |
