Libraries and DRM
I do not wish do break any rules/guidelines, so ...
From the guidelines: Quote:
The following post was made: Quote:
A) You can in fact get the library ebook from your library and read it on your reader B) You could read the library book on your ereader, but you would need to strip the DRM Thanks. |

Thank you for your question. After discussion, the guidelines have been updated. Advocating ebook piracy is not permitted. Detailed discussion of DRM removal is not permitted. But there is now no specific restriction on discussion of DRM and library books. |

Thanks, Paul. This makes it clearer for those of us who do NOT pirate books, but live outside the US where public libraries don't have a choice of formats.
