Amazon 'makes it easier' for authors to DRM Kindle ebooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon has added a new tool to its Kindle
| self-publishing service that lets authors and
| small publishers easily choose between DRM
| and no DRM when uploading texts to its online
| book store.
|
| Amazon tells The Reg that no-DRM was always
| the default with its Digital Text Platform -
| used by small publishers and authors as
| opposed to large publishing houses. In the
| past, the company says, if authors wanted to
| add DRM, they had to download separate
| software. Now, they can add DRM simply by
| checking a radio button.

U.S. Courts Split on Internet Bans
,----[ Quote ]
| A federal appeals court is reversing a
| lifetime internet ban imposed on a child sex
| offender also handed a 15-year prison term.
|
| The outcome highlights the appellate courts
| are all over the map when it comes to
| internet bans often imposed on defendants,
| especially sex deviants, once they have
| served their time. Whatâs more, the courts
| appear to be accepting the internet as a
| basic freedom to which convicts, even the
| worst of the worst, usually should not be
| denied permanent access.
