On target, anon. This anon bought an ebook many years ago, Sandra Day O'Connor's book about her childhood on the family ranch, "Lazy B." Within days, the digital rights laws changed, Adobe updated its software, and I could no longer read the book I legitimately paid for. Ironic, given its author was a SCOTUS Justice. I then bought a paper book and never bought another ebook. I've downloaded free ebooks, but I won't pay for something that can be taken away without notice. That's one brick in the wall of the NWO's goal towards eliminating all private property.
