That’s always been the problem with DRM locked stuff. And ebooks in general.

Amazon has already banned books and “retrieved” them from the users.

I don’t trust those ebooks as far as I can throw them.

Here is just _one_ example—there are many more—books on a wide variety of topics:

True. That’s why MS should never have agreed to support enforcing DRM. They make punitive licensing agreements with customers so why, as the content provider, could they not make better agreements with content sources in exchange for distribution royalties? Stupid move, stupid result.

Earthlink ISP did the same with the music you “bought” thru them. Once you quit Earthlink your music would not play anymore.
