Tor books is well known for publishing their entire library DRM-free. It's pretty awesome that such a reputable publisher has made their works accessible.


It's also something that they (and a couple other publishers) forced Amazon to note in their catalog books published DRM-free and it has long amused me how passively-aggressively that note seems to be written from Amazon's side:

> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

It feels to me this is phrased as if this is a bad thing. Amuses me every time I see it, and it's at the bottom of a lot of book descriptions these days (certainly all of Tor's books, including A Fire Upon the Deep).
