Watermarking code for e-books
lundi 27 juin 2016 à 02:00Researchers have broken a watermarking code for e-books. Here's the developers' statement.
Watermarking used as a scheme to stop people from sharing is wrong because its goal is wrong. Sharing is good, and ought to be legal. However, the scheme presupposes another injustice: making people identify themselves to buy a copy. To defend my privacy, I refuse to identify myself to a bookseller. I pay cash and only cash.
