I don't think the focus of this article is us, the technology savvy. I think the danger is for the common reader, who doesn't know the difference between .MOBI or .EPUB and wouldn't know how to circumvent DRM on an Amazon book to keep it. There's still the risk that these systems will become more sophisticated that even mid-level savvy folks give up. Do we know the implications of TPP w/r/t ebooks?

But I think it's important that we maintain the community to circumvents copyright. Copyright, the way it is implemented today, is anti-cultural. If we have any hope of harvesting our incredible digital archiving ability, we must maintain ways to keep content free of DRM. But it's up to us - no one will do it for us.
