[QUOTE="Alnag, post: 3711679, member: 10087"] With current level of technology you can not protect anything absolutely. To say the very least, once you have an e-version of a book, you can make a screenshot of it, run it through OCR software and have the book in... well with some software very quickly. The way to fight a piracy is not to make artifical barriers, they will just discourage honest people. That is lesson which music industry is learning right now. The way is too find new balance in offer and demand, where piracy is not productive. In certain amounts producing e-books is so cheap that free alternative is not an alternative at all. And for the record. I think, watermarked PDF is fair to both customer and producer. DRM and other limitations are not. [/QUOTE]
