Abusive Behahiour (Rant about Adobe Digital Editions)
(1/1)
Renegade:
So I go to read an eBook that I PURCHASED a while ago in PDF format... Grrr... :mad:
I've been able to open it in the past (of course) but get directed here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/?source=acrofile
They want me to download and install and activate things again!
And what if I'm not connected to the Internet? Like on my laptop out somewhere?
Geez... I don't know if this is just me, but I really hate being forced to jump through hoops to do simple stuff like open a file that I've already paid for. I can walk to my shelf and open a book without this hassle.
Really makes me want to rethink buying any more of Adobe's "Digital Editions."
Grrr... Grumble... :mad:
Ok. I'm done. :)

This is the fundamental problem with DRM - it always ends up causing a hassle for the legitimate purchaser.
I can sure understand the publishers' desire to ensure they get what's due, but heavy-handed DRM is nearly always something that'll get me to reconsider a purchase.
Grorgy:
and you can almost guarantee that people who have obtained it illegally are not bothered at all by the DRM, they already have the fix in place
