... Add to this, the fact that there are so many laws that it is nearly impossible to keep track of all of them. Our "law-makers" in Washington are constantly...
Hey, Brenna dej said that "Brenda" sees things in black and white - not you, some chick named Brenda. I appreciate all of your perceptions. This is a hot...
She was answering my comments and has slipped back and forth between calling me Brenda and Brenna for two days. I shrug that off. A lot of people make that...
... Most of my printed book purchases over the last few years have been used books. Almost all of my book purchases that directly benefit the author have been...
... Brenna, sorry about getting your name wrong. I am bad with names and I'm about as busy and stressed as I can be myself (which means niceties like...
... Chris, I wish I had been or could suggest that there is an easy solution. I'm quite sure that the general public is ignorant of copyright law, and that we...
And you'd be right, according to the folks over at Fictionwise. Their numbers were that DRM books create 10 times the number of support calls/e-mails as...
If you purchased them from eReader or one of its predecessors that became eReader, all you need to is log in to your bookshelf. The correct information you...
I wonder if copyright is something that is generation sensitive. In other words, do younger people worry about it as much as the over 50 crowd (Like me)do? If...
Grinning... I do speed, mainly because if you don't (in every state I've ever lived in), you get run off the road. When I was TAUGHT to drive, it went...
Greetings: Many of the Baen Books in electronic format that I got for free either through their Free Library or one one of the various CD-ROM's that have been...
I find that how much a young person cares depends on what they understand of it and what influences they have toward forming their opinions on it. My children...
... My suggestion: Help correct the misunderstandings every time you hear someone opine: It's not copyright infringement, because I cited the author and...
It still gripes me that 90% of the discussion of DRM, pro and con, talks as if the stuff actually worked as advertised. It doesn't. It's snake oil. It's easily...
No, no... You misunderstood me. Those events I listed are all free to the public. No cost but your driving time. The only thing that would cost you money on...
... I don't doubt that if you buy your DRMd ebooks from the right places, you can eventually get the DRM reset for a new device, but for occasional readers of...
Interesting editorial, found via Slashdot. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070301/005837.shtml Precis follows: To be successful, new business models have to...
I purchase lots of ebooks but refuse to purchase DRM books. I either purchase html, or Multiformat from Fictionwise. When they send me offers of great best...
Re: EPIC, not all of us here are members of this particular organization nor do we wish to be. So, to be continually addressed by Ms. Lyons as the "President...
The ONLY reason that you see the EPIC President line is that I keep all my e-book lists on a single e-mail address, which is the one I use as president of...
... I think all he wanted to say is that the way your e-mails are presented seems very pompous and in-your-face. I must say I've thought the same thing myself...
... I find it more amusing that annoying - as if I were sitting with the old gods looking at Monkey declaring himself to be Great Sage, Equal of Heaven. In my...
Have one, but it's a pain to log into, so I don't bother with it, unless I have to. Certainly not for list mail, which happens daily. As for your perceptions...
Um. Well, I have to question the criticism of free email addys. Yahoo does a much better job of filtering spam and viruses than my ISP's email service and they...
Grinning... Well, I didn't want to even touch that one, since my e-mail isn't a free e-mail anyway...it's from my ISP, which has all the great features for...
... This wasn't about technical merits, just about perception and authenticty of identity. With a free e-mail address I can call myself anything I want and...
Most of our members are from North America, but not nearly all. We have members from 9 countries, last I heard. Quite a few of the ones outside the US are from...
