This is why I get so annoyed with Doctorow's bitching about DRM and blaming "Big Tech." Until I see you can get DRM free things from libraries, I'm going to continue to think it is largely the copyright holders demanding these capabilities more so than I think it is a "big tech" company that almost certainly is bound by the same rules in working with the copyright owners.
And honestly, I can see some of the reason for the DRM with good faith arguments on how it could completely erode a few markets. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I can't dismiss them out of hand, either.
Anyway, reminds me that I need to support my libraries more.
