[LINK] Online Publisher Removing Copy Protection From e-Books

[Tom Worthington]

Online ebook publisher, Lulu has announced, it will cease using Digital 
Rights Management (DRM) for ebooks from 15 January 2013:

Readers will be able to make copies of e-books, although copyright will 
still limit when this is legally permitted. I decided not to use DRM on 
the books I provide through Lulu, because of the problems the 
anti-copying technology causes for readers and the fee charged for use 
of the technology makes up a significant part of the price of a low cost 
ebook:
