RosettaBooks is sued by Random House: New York, Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Random House Inc. has asked a federal judge to bar a publisher of ebooks from copying works of William Styron, Kurt Vonnegut, and Robert Parker and selling them over the Internet. ``Our contract gives us the right to publish in book form, and we take book form to mean paper form or electronic form,'' said Random House general counsel Harriette Dorsen. Arthur Klebanoff, founder and chief executive of New York- based RosettaBooks, said publishing contracts dating before 1980 didn't anticipate that books could be sold electronically, and that authors never sold publishers their e-book rights. RosettaBooks will be represented in the case by attorney David Boies, the Justice Department's chief lawyer in its successful antitrust suit against Microsoft Corp.
FYI. RosettaBooks is using DRM level 5 for all the ebooks, which means NO Pocket PC users can buy them :( (yet, and probably won't buy it because of the hardware based copy protection system).
