Joshua Gay writes, "We want to send a message about DRM on ebooks and ebook readers that everyone will understand with just four simple points":
- They want to put locks on your books.
- It is locked to a single device... when it breaks, you can no longer read your ebook.
- The owners of DRM technology decide what can be put into their DRM formats; DRM allows for digital censorship
- Every few years you will have to buy a new copy of your favorite books.
"Join us in action in teaching the world about DRM on ebooks," he writes. "Help us save the future of reading for everyone!"
