Title: "The big DRM mistake"

Blurb: "Digital Rights Managements hurts paying customers, destroys Fair Use 
rights, renders customers' investments worthless, and can always be defeated. 
Why are consumers and publishers being forced to use DRM?"

Call out: "When I realized that I couldn't copy text out of The Complete New 
Yorker, I felt like a sucker - a sucker that had been conned by the same 
people to whom I willingly gave my money. As a college instructor, I 
especially thought of the loss to my students..."

I hope you enjoy it.
