DRM Strikes Again - Kindle owners find out about DRM's ever-present threat

[nemowolf]

From Ars Techinica:

Some Kindle users are angry because Amazon blocked them from their Kindle accounts, thereby blocking them from accessing their already-purchased media. Even if these stories are exaggerated, they once again highlight the caveats that come with DRMed media. You don't own your content—Amazon does.

I posting this in the Gaming section to show how the industry can be effected by DRM in not so obvious ways and how it intersects with your life much more then you realize. Hopefully by reading this article you may get a closer insight into how DRM is not the solution we have to blindly agree too.
