> how is it bad behavior to say you’ll issue a takedown notice if your copyright material is republished? Which copyrighted material is TFA republishing? And where's the takedown notice? So far, there only seems to be an attempt of emotional blackmail ("take this down or we'll have to deprioritize our accessibility efforts"). > They make a software to help libraries lend ebooks for free. Free to the library (?), but not free to the reader. (Readers indirectly pay for it via certification fees paid by the ereader vendor.) It might well be the lesser evil compared to Kindle (closed ecosystem) and Adobe Digital Editions (words cannot describe the pain), but it's still a DRM scheme and as such restricts reading hardware/software choice, so I can see how its mere existence upsets people. |
