Rise in e-book piracy: One more reason to DITCH Digital Rights Management

,----[ Quote ]
| Pirates find easy new pickings in open 
| waters of e-book publishing is the 
| headline of a Times piece in the U.K. As 
| reported there:
|  
| âAmerican publishers have lost âmore than 
| $600 millionâ to piracy, by one estimate.
| 
| âReaders downloaded illegal copies of Dan 
| Brownâs The Lost Symbol âmore than 100,000 
| timesâ within days.

Lulu introduces DRM

,----[ Quote ]
| I'm inclined to think that at the very least, I
| shouldn't publish with Lulu again; and,
| probably, I should also withdraw my existing
| publications from their system and find some
| other print-on-demand outfit. Is that an
| overreaction?
