Kindle owners find out about DRM's ever-present threat
,----[ Quote ]
| Some Kindle users are angry because Amazon blocked them from their Kindle
| accounts, thereby blocking them from accessing their already-purchased media.
| Even if these stories are exaggerated, they once again highlight the caveats
| that come with DRMed media. You don't own your content—Amazon does.

| Amazon Kindle (Swindle), Sony Reader (Sh-reader), and others are all
| competing to control how, what, and when we can read with their competing

The Kindle Swindle
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that Amazon only cares to oppose DRM when they can profit from it,
| such as when they advertise their MP3's as "Play Anywhere, DRM-Free
| Downloads." The same is not true for Kindle ebooks. Perhaps if they were
| honest they would advertise their ebooks as "Play Only Here, DRM-Laden Kindle
| Ebooks."
