That doesn't cut out the publisher.

Publishers aren't as evil compared to big tech. Maybe a random lieutenant of hell versus Lucifer's advisor here.

You can also buy DRM free self-published books quite easily nowadays. Amazon doesn't have a monopoly on e-commerce, not yet at least.

[themadturk]

Most publishers demand their ebooks be sold with DRM. This can be seen as an aspect of "evil."

Haha yes, they are even more evil en masse.

I don’t think that’s even possible.
