Sci-fi novelist Charles Stross joins Mobipocket DRM outcry

By David Rothman

Charles Stross, the sci-fi novelist, wrote a nice little post, Why DRM Sucks: Redux—pegged to the Mobipocket debacle, which, as of this wrting, continues.

Remember, publishers earn squat without writers to write. What does it say when some of DRM’s biggest critics are those whom the technology supposedly is protecting? A little like George Bush protecting Iraqis, huh?
