Textbooks With EULAs

overshoot writes "We all knew it was coming, didn't we? Now Princeton University and nine others are introducing DRM'd textbooks. For a 33% discount, students get a 5-month node-locked e-book instead of all that glossy paper. Maybe Congress should just get it over with and change the law to allow EULAs on printed works?"

    Glockenspieler, you should concede that you are a moron, since your university degree has not helped you create a valid example or analogy. In this case your analogy and pompous retort at the end of your first comment was nothing more than a straw man argument and an attempt to defame the original parent poster.
     
    I am referring to this comment
      "Finally, I recommend avoiding statements like "Everybody knows..." Its usually a clear sign that what ever is coming next is vastly oversimplified, self-righteous, or just plain ignorant."
     
    Every aspect of human activity is corrupt because of such intellectual dishonesty, as a professor you should be ashamed that you sink to these levels to win an argument and are also educating our youth to use such tactics.
