Ask Apple to Support Ogg on iPod/iTunes
,----[ Quote ]
| Please ask Apple to support Ogg on their iPods, iPhones, and iTunes! It
| wouldn't hurt to also sign this petition (and maybe this one), though I don't
| know how strongly they'd influence Apple. Here's why, as good news and bad
| news.

Ebook DRM provider goes dark, the books you paid for disappear
,----[ Quote ]
| Hudson sez, "Fictionwise used Overdrive to provide DRM encrypted ebooks to
| their customers and Overdrive has informed them that they will be shutdown on
| 30 January with no reason given. Since Fictionwise doesn't have the
| decryption keys, they are not able to provide new versions of the books to
| all customers."

Adobe Digital Editions: a Fraud!
,----[ Quote ]
| I am not decided yet whose fraud is bigger: Adobe's one, or that of the
| e-book publishers who infamously market the digital content for Adobe Digital
| Editions as content for Adobe Reader?
|
| [...]
|
| You should therefore avoid e-books from HarperCollins, and be cautious: when
| the DRM'ed contents "fine-grained rights", it's unlikely to be a PDF (even if
| marketed as "Adobe Reader"), but something worse.

Don't let DRM get between you and a good book
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon Kindle (Swindle), Sony Reader (Sh-reader), and others are all
| competing to control how, what, and when we can read with their competing
| Digital Restrictions Management technologies. Let's let them know that we
| won't buy their ebook readers until they get rid of the DRM!

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."
