They're trying to engage in impact litigation to enshrine the "DRM ebook ~= physical book" equivalency into case law. Committing fully to that equivalency looks a lot like playing dumb, particularly to an observer that thinks it's a false equivalency.
Personally, I want less DRM in the world, not more.
- ranger_danger 2y agoI don't think this case is actually related to DRM... they are making digital photocopies of existing physical books and then lending those out, regardless of whether any DRM is applied by IA themselves. If you're talking about DRM ebooks purchased legally under license and then copying those, I think that's a separate issue that would have to be addressed later in another lawsuit.
