I'm confused. Doesn't this book by Cory have DRM?

http://www.amazon.com/Homeland-ebook/dp/B00AEC8O2K

If he's so hot on this issue, why is he selling his creativity with DRM, thereby hurting open standards which don't support it?




That's a condition of selling on the Amazon platform. Doctorow also makes his most of his books available on his site, for free even, under a Creative Commons license in basically every format imaginable, eg: http://craphound.com/down/download.php
