It's difficult for me to empathize with publishers in the same way that the author has done. Wasn't this entire situation created by book publisher's love for walled gardens and DRM?
Concentrated power seems to me to be the logical result of that kind of strategy.
- smackfu 12y agoYeah, in retrospect, the publishers would have been much better controlling the DRM themselves.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoThat is exactly what created the situation. They could start up their own stores right now (and even get their stuff delivered to Kindles) if they abandoned their child-like faith in DRM. Baen has been delivering straight to Kindle for years now. Of course, Baen has never been clueless enough to use DRM.
