Here's my original version, with links: http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake/maa_ebook_drm.html Also note that in the couple weeks since that appeared, Tor books have dropped DRM. See some of Charlie Stross's comments: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2012/04/more-on-drm-and-ebooks.html and his post on Amazon's ebook strategy: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2012/04/understanding-amazons-strategy.html The MAA exists to serve the mathematical community. I believe -- and between the evidence in my editorial and the Tor announcement, many others also believe -- that DRM ebooks don't serve the mathematical community.
