Right, and you point out something important which is that people who donโt want to pay, people who are pirates, donโt get bothered by the DRM, they go out and buy the cracked books or download the cracked books for free. Itโs only people who are foolish enough to pay for them that get locked into these platforms.
Cory DoctorowI'm 17 years old. I'm not a straight-A student or anything. Even so, I figured out how to make an Internet that they can't wiretap. I figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. I can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. I could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. I figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. If I can do it, terrorists can do it. They told us they took away our freedom to make us safe. Do you feel safe?
