According to Scalzi, he requested that "Redshirts" be the first of Tor's titles to be released without DRM restrictions. Tor Books and Forge Books (both part of big-six publisher Macmillan) had announced in April that they'd be one of the first major publishers to make such a move. Scalzi says that DRM, rather than preventing the type of piracy feared by the industry, actually makes it harder on paying customers—like those he'll shake hands and chat with later in the evening. They just want to read what they buy in the ways they prefer, he says.
