Eric Flint, a sci-fi author, published a great essay on the counterproductiveness of DRM. It’s worth a read. Now if only the content industry could get their collective heads out of the sand and start listening to this guy… He is making a nice living by publishing some of his work online for free through the Baen free library – turning it effectively into free advertising for his (paper) novels. Eric Flint is living proof that Big Media has it all wrong.
