Of course, why would you defend your actions once directed to its many problems. Rest assured you guys won't build ANY respect for copyright, quite the contrary.
"again, I find it incredible that the same party that insists bakers shouldn't be made to bake cakes for people they don't like is now insisting that internet companies must host speech that they disagree with"
You mean, like all the big corporations are caught doing over and over again and getting off scott-free? Yeah, it's that simple if even they can't figure out what they're allowed to do.
The crime here is the atrocious quality of Audible's material. I've tried it once and stripped the DRM only to find 128 kbit mp3s encoding with something that sounds like the Xing encoder from the 90s. When I contacted them they said DRMing was necessary but of course offered NO explanation why they couldn't put files with higher bitrate and/encoded by LAME into the containers.
Since then I've switched to ripping my Audiobook CDs and never looked back.

No, not one like these, genius. It's FullHD only instead of 4K and does not come with a satellite/cable tuner.
