This document discusses issues around digital rights management (DRM) and ownership of digital goods. It notes that DRM restricts users' freedom and control over their own property by limiting what users can do with digital content, such as copying, printing, or moving files. Critics argue that DRM turns users into renters or "sharers" rather than owners, and risks returning society to a feudal model where powerful tech companies control access to content and information. In contrast, open licensing models for e-textbooks allow users full copying and reuse rights over content.
