But did RMS offered some technological solutions regarding solving those pain points? The article sounds as if Amazon was the culprit here, but imho Amazon needs to comply with what publishers wants, and also to protect copyright rights of the authors.

RMS typically calls out an leading exemplar of a specific problem. In the case of eBooks, that would be Amazon.

And yes, he does offer specific technical alternatives.

Amazon's been large enough to exert its will on publishers before.
