Mittelmäßige Miete.
Friedhelm W. ist Zugnomade. Er besitzt eine von 35.000 „Mobility Bahncards 100“, die es ihm ermöglicht, ein ganzes Jahr lang mit der Deutschen Bahn an jedes gewünschte Ziel zu fahren, ohne einen einzigen Fahrschein zu lösen. Doch Friedhelm W. ist nicht einfach nur unterwegs. Er lebt, schläft und arbeitet in Zügen. Die DB-Lounge ist seine Küche, sein Wohnzimmer und sein Bad.
Limits of Cinema.
Je kunt geen film maken voor meer dan 60 miljoen kroon (ongeveer 8 miljoen euro) die zo lang is. Vijf en een half uur reduceert de marktwaarde zo radicaal dat investeerders zich zouden voelen alsof ze een kat in de zak hebben gekocht.

DRM-HTML.
A Web where you cannot cut and paste text; where your browser can't "Save As..." an image; where the "allowed" uses of saved files are monitored beyond the browser; where JavaScript is sealed away in opaque tombs; and maybe even where we can no longer effectively "View Source" on some sites, is a very different Web from the one we have today. It's a Web where user agents—browsers—must navigate a nest of enforced duties every time they visit a page. It's a place where the next Tim Berners-Lee or Mozilla, if they were building a new browser from scratch, couldn't just look up the details of all the "Web" technologies. They'd have to negotiate and sign compliance agreements with a raft of DRM providers just to be fully standards-compliant and interoperable.
Now guess why we have libgen and boox.
Imagine walking into a library or bookstore and needing three or four pairs of different glasses to read different books manufactured to specific viewing equipment. Or buying a book and then having to arbitrarily destroy it after say, two weeks. That’s just nuts. But it’s the current situation we’re in with ebooks.
