Whatever anyones perspective on Copyright or the infringement therein, it is incredible that various content industries are trying ever more to hold on to content that you have bought. In this case Amazon have used DRM to massively dodge a law suite over selling content that was not theirs to sell (if I have read everything correctly). In this case it is Amazon who were in the wrong yet their customers are the ones who have been punished. At the end of the day if I buy content then I should be free to use that content. DRM stops you being able to "use" the content. -- Using M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2009-09-01 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
