your books, you do give them away, right?

give people you care about books you care about, as often as you can.

@djsundog this is one of the downsides of ebooks.

@jerry totally - it's the same beef I have with music streaming services: as much as I love having access to such a large collection, it's value is massively diminished by not being able to share parts of it with others without a third party's permission.

@djsundog @jerry It's a strong upside to DRM-free, voluntary-payment eBooks. Or even involuntary payment DRM-free eBooks, since then you can just delete your copy.

@freakazoid @djsundog yeah. Almost all of my books are from Safari, which is even worse.

@jerry @djsundog I have an absolute "no DRM" policy these days. I buy paper books sometimes, but otherwise if there's no DRM-free version I just pirate it.

@freakazoid @jerry piracy for principle is the most delicious piracy around - keep up the good work ;)
