DRM prevents you from downloading copies of books you've purchased from online storefronts, but is it legal to bypass DRM to create backups? Cory Doctorow, an expert on the DMCA, weighs in on the subject.

Title from the article. Interesting article, with some good words from our DRM-free favorite Cory Doctorow.

    I would if I could, but Kindles new DRM can get around DeDRM. Waiting for an update. Trying to find a new way to buy books but seems like you just get locked into someone else DRM, which may have less support around DRM removal

      I’ve been having the same problem. I’d love a drm free e-reader, but even if I found one finding drm free content is not easy.

      I’m just buying analog books now. Less convenient in some ways, but at least I know what I’m getting.
