You Can Remove DRM From Your Digital Books, but It's Probably Illegal

Title from the article. Interesting article, with some good words from our DRM-free favorite Cory Doctorow.

  • Fwiw, I've never put drm on anything I've published digitally, and never will.

    Not that it matters, nobody buys my shit in the first place lol. But, as a matter of principle, even my crappy stories as a form of culture aren't only for the people with money.

    Mind you, that do? I have no beef with. You make your own choices, and I ain't mad about it. But it just isn't something I can do.

    • I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I've found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.

      The rest I pirate.
