So eBook publishers have been sold used, failed concepts by Adobe, under
the guise of new technology, and their insistance that they still believe
in the DMCA is part of a cover up by Adobe executives, not as a political
point of view, but to save money so they still have at least one reason
left not to get sued for making shoddy goods.

Imagine if used car dealers could get a law passed that made it a crime to
find out what the odometer reading really should be.
