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.

    I don’t care what some stupid US law says. It doesn’t apply to me.

      That’s great. This conversation was about the US.

        It really wasn’t.

        You tried to make it about the US when the topic is about a company that operates internationally, that’s what.

        Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised is breaking national law in many countries with their one-size-fits-all approach.

        But I’d rather just not give a crap about that and just keep pirating my books.

          It really was. Do you not know what the DMCA is? It’s US law.
