We don't need DRM 5, go for DRM 3!
This is a commentary from Jon Noring of ebook community egroups.
For some odd reason Microsoft's intermediate security level through its DAS, called "Inscribed" (the old "level 3"), is not used much, and rarely talked about.
Essentially, an Inscribed LIT file is freely openable on any MS Reader system, as is any basic ("Sealed") LIT, but it is "inscribed" during sale with the buyer's name, and possibly other information (I have not seen an actual Inscribed LIT ebook so I'm not sure what's been inscribed into it.)Inscribed thus allows the buyer to read the ebook on any MS Reader capable system they own. Inscribing also gives the reader a positive feel of "ownership" -- "this book is mine, see my name is actually in it!" I don't believe this consumer-positive aspect of Inscribed LIT has been properly recognized nor fully explored by publishers.
