>I think I would be very frustrated with my spouse if this principle cost us so much potential financial freedom in other parts of our lives.

This mindset is a driving force behind our corrupt politics: sacrificing morals for money.

It’s not really a big deal though is it?

this person is just being a little weird and stubborn about this.

Audible members know what they are getting and choose to do so. Audible DRM is not a big deal, just use this Audible app, some of the arguments made in this article are invalid.

HN user: Not really a big deal though is it?

If you've paid attention in the last century or so - it is a big deal in countries all over the world, there is a global political crisis of people sacrificing morals for money.

I agree, that sacrificing morals for money is not a good thing.

What I am saying is that putting your book on audible is not really unethical. It's not such a big deal, people on audible know how the system works and the DRM is fairly irrelevant for most people without tinfoil hats.

You're seriously making mountains out of mole hills here. There is no slippery slope trying to get your content on a platform that consumers actually use, regardless of the ethics of that platforms that's where the users are!

It is a big deal for some of us, author included. And you are being a bit rude by disregarding our opinion like that.

That may depend on the terms with Audible.
