PC World's Ian Paul Says Amazon's DRM 'Stinks'

In the latest of what appears to be a growing number of Kindle owners displeased with Amazon's digital rights management strategy, PC World's Ian Paul slams the device's copy controls and rips Amazon for less-than-crystal-clear terms and conditions.

Paul grants that "the Kindle is an innovative device that really does have the potential to reshape publishing," but adds that Amazon's DRM rules need to be "designed for the lifetime of the customer, and not the lifetime of one Kindle device."
