All books over this Christmas received or given by me, were physical books - therefore; I did NOT rent kindle books, I bought real ones. And that practice will continue.
But - you miss the point. It doesn't matter if it's stopped one pirate or a million - if it's pissing off the customers who normally PAY for it, then it's bad, indeed.
There are some companies I hesitate or skip buying from because I'm concerned with DRM/Usability issues. There's other products out there - lots of them - sometimes it's hard to make up my mind, so often DRM and such will be a deciding factor.

So he didn't OWN the SQL code to copyright it, correct? He was just 'licensed to use it'. If I would interpret that right.

Why not fix the price of everything? That way independent [noun]-store owners won't have to undercut the prices of other [noun] chains.
