    I have five published books, all without drm. Amazon better not put that shit ON my books. It’s not there for a reason; I want people to share.

      Curious, as someone who’s an actual author, do you have any legal option at all for preventing Amazon (which I assume technically act as your publisher in this case?) to put DRM on your books, or demand them to remove DRM if they added DRM without your notice?

        Likely not, Amazon is a private market place and if their requirements to use it requires the drm his option is very likely use the drm or fuck off.

        Not having good publicly controlled legal market places is one of the biggest failings of the internet.
