Doesn't this motivate publishers to only let books be shared from public libraries using strong DRM?
- xavdid 3y agoIf it's a big enough problem, then maybe. Honestly it just seems like a cat and mouse game - there'll always be dedicated people willing to crack any new DRM scheme that comes out. I would guess that the DRM mostly does its job though, but it's hard to say for sure!
- neilv 3y agoSeems like it's creating a problem for libraries. Libraries to Publishers: Please stop abusing our readers so much. Readers: The library helps me pirate, muahahaha. Publishers: I rest my case.
