"Many of the participants in the Reddit thread on e-book pricing question whether, when we buy something, we’re buying the content - the novel or the album, for example - or whether we’re buying access to a sanctioned content delivery mechanism - a DRM version of that book or record. The publishing and record industry may want to keep those intertwined, but I’m not sure consumers see content the same way."
Will E-Book Prices & Restrictions Lead to E-Book Piracy? (via publicknowledge)
I still think when you buy a physical copy of a book (or record or movie) a DRM-free digital copy should always be included. Slightly off topic, I know, but reading this reminded me of that belief.
