[Publib] FSF Petition Against DRM-Encrypted [Kindle] Ebooks

[Michael Schofield]

I think libraries ought to be concerned with the future of digital media 
(especially ebooks), and I suppose all of you saw the irony in the Amazon 
Kindle/Orwell 1984 scandal. Anyway, the Free Software Foundation launched a 
petition against Kindle's DRM-Encrypted Ebooks (particularly because Amazon 
made such a fuss about DRM-free music downloads).

Even if you don't back the FSF in this matter, it is still an important 
issue in our industry - or should be.
