i just bought an ebook from an academic site for 22.50$ but
its locked to this computer and i dont own a printer! i
wanted to print it but it says itll only ever open on this
computer......im pretty gutted, i want a paper copy, the
author said i could print it, he lets ppl photocopy it if
they want

does anyone know of any way of getting round this shit?
fuck i hate DRM...i paid good money 4 it i should be able 2
do what i like w/ it,grrrr

You can either borrow a printer or try one of the various
alternatives to acrobat. Some of them ignore all the drm
and, in some cases, password protected files etc.

nah no joy :( oh well in the course of my quest ive read
some proper horror stories with ebook DRM and now count
myself quite lucky.

mind boggled before at who would actually buy DRM'd MUSIC
off the internet but now i reckon it must be ppl like myself
who didnt read the legal shit carefully + just wanted to
listen / read the stuff
