Emily Walshe: In our rush to adopt new technologies, we have too readily surrendered ownership in favor of its twisted sister, access.
Web 2.0 and its culture of collaboration supposedly unleashed a sharing society. But we can share only what we own. And as more and more content gets digitized, commercialized, and monopolized, our cultural integrity is threatened. The free and balanced flow of information that gives shape to democratic society is jeopardized.
kindle drm
I have had a kindle for about a year now. The only books I purchased from amazon were the free ones. I converted the many books I already had to mobi format and transferred them.
As more content gets digitized the DRM will get stripped from it and it will be shareable.
Learn from the music industry, DRM sucks, I won’t purchase DRM’d merchandise unless I know I can unDRM it.
