Thanks so much for your thoughtful post about DRM at the BPL. We've come to the same conclusion here: DRM stinks, yes, but people like the content. The DVD analogy is especially apropos. If you'd like to see the official library response, check out http://dbinfo.bpl.org/dbblog/?p=60. Or just Google "drm boston public library" because I've posted the darn thing everywhere.
