Breaking the Curse
DRM is not just a question facing the U.S.-based trade. Arguably, the epicenter of this recent round of discussion falls somewhere within the London office of Pottermore. The individual certainly most responsible for kicking it off—author J.K. Rowling.
When Rowling's Pottermore—the website developed as the online home of the Harry Potter franchise—announced this past March that the series would finally be released in an electronic format, it stipulated that it would be done without heavyweight DRM software. Instead, a user-specific watermark would be embedded with the purchaser's name and the time of purchase in the ebook itself.
