Re: Re: eBook security

To paraphrase (in this context) Princess Leia of Star Wars, to the DRM 
crowd:  "The tighter you close your grip, the more content will slip 
through your fingers...."  People, as people, don't like being told by 
anybody they can't do something, and will rebel against the Empire (or 
the music industry, or the movie industry, or....)  It's called human 
nature, and the Big Boys just don't get it.  And I don't know how to 
teach them.  Maybe the public does, and will.  Time will tell.
