Instead of trolls and clue sticks, perhaps I—perish the thought—speak my mind. Is everyone who disagrees trolling or clueless? Is there some unwritten covenant here that stipulates acceptance of circumventing DRM technology. Perhaps I’m just an atheist in the Foxhole, so to speak. I don’t believe that Convert LIT immune from criticism. If there is a rule that says, “Please don’t tip our Sacred Cows,” please accept my apologies. I know this a subject with strong convictions for some folk. I just wanted to point out that not every one holds to those convictions. Well, if that makes you think I’ve been hitting the bottle, so be it.
If you don’t like the terms of sale for DRM ebooks, why do you buy them?
Movies are as impermanent as they come, but many people will punk down $8.00 or $10.00 for two hours. Few ebooks cost more then $10.00; I think I’ve only bought one that was more then $12.00. A cheap seat for the symphony is about twice that. If you refuse to buy a movie, theater, opera, or whatever ticket on the grounds that you can’t make a recording of the performance while you are there, you are entitled to that belief, just don’t show up with a camcorder and not expect to be tossed out.
