I think you have it backwards, they do not want DRM. This is not the publishers suing, this is booksellers.

- jamesbritt 14y agoThey want something they refer to as "open source" DRM, but they seem to have some unique meaning for that phrase.
- dunham 14y agoThe bookstores are asking the court to issue an injunction prohibiting the publishers and Amazon from “selling e-books with device and app specific DRMs,” while also requiring the big six publishers to allow independent bookstores to directly sell open-source DRM e-books. It sounds like they are asking the courts to order some kind of "open source DRM" that they can use. If they don't want to use DRM, Kindle and iBooks work great today. If they don't want anyone to use DRM, then the article is misrepresenting them.
