There's also the situation of recommending books; you might do that months before and then suddenly the library purchases a half-dozen of them at once and they're on your hold list. |

Of course, I also don't hold others to my personal set of morals. If they want to remove DRM from ebooks they borrow, that between them and their conscience. I would say that as long as someone only reads the book once and deletes it after they read it, I don't see that as a major moral failing. Not even worth confessing to your priest. |

A user mentioned that publishers in Germany have replaced Adobe DRM with watermarking (which they refer to as social DRM). Whether it technically meets the definition of DRM doesn't matter. No user was confused or unable to follow the meaning. (Sorry for the rant. I've been crabby and short-tempered recently.) |
