    They know all that. They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.

    That simplifies market analysis, removes the dilemma of supporting or not supporting some other way users want, and ideally selling the same thing a few times.

      They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.

      And they have every right to do so. If you like it or not. You don’t own and have not created the protected content. On what basis are you deciding it should not be DRM protected?

        On the basis of having bought it. If they haven’t sold it but made such an impression, then they’ve committed a crime.

        When you are buying a cure against all problems with miniscule text saying it’s just a metaphor, the seller is committing a crime. It’s the same here.

        Morally. Regardless of how courts interpret this right now. That feature that courts and practice officially do not equal morality and thus we can decide differently this time, if we can provide an explanation, is the main advantage of English legal system and those descended from it over others.
