It has been reported (http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-ebook-libraries/) that Adobe Digital Editions 4 is spyware: it not only sends back to base all actions you take while reading, but it also searches your hard disk and uploads the metadata for all books on your hard disk!
Of course, Adobe Digital Editions is required if you wish to read a book which has been protected with Adobe DRM. However, nothing in the purchase agreement for the ebook said I agreed to spyware searching my hard disk. So, can this form the basis of a "complaint to the Secretary of State" about Adobe DRM in order to be granted permission to circumvent Adobe DRM? Anyone any idea how to go about that?
