O'Reilly to launch DRM-free developer ebooks Community Center by newsguy As publishers go, O'Reilly has managed to build itself quite a reputation as a forward thinking company. Not only for the way in which it tackles emerging and niche technologies from the developer perspective, but also for being something of a pioneer in making them available in a digital format.

However, this is something of a diversion methinks. The core issue is whether something as generic (and like it or not, with merit or not, it is) as Web 2.0 should be given service mark … Re: O'Reilly to launch DRM-free developer ebooks Community Center by sfmovement I think this is great. but why do you need this? I get DRM free content from my Safari account. Both on the web in HTML and on my machine when I download from there No DRM besides the obligatory light watermarking.
