Title from the article. Interesting article, with some good words from our DRM-free favorite Cory Doctorow.

Fwiw, I've never put drm on anything I've published digitally, and never will.

Not that it matters, nobody buys my shit in the first place lol. But, as a matter of principle, even my crappy stories as a form of culture aren't only for the people with money.

Mind you, that do? I have no beef with. You make your own choices, and I ain't mad about it. But it just isn't something I can do.

I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I've found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.

The rest I pirate.
