>If you'd like an example of why the nascent eBook industry is probably
>scared to death over what they see happening with Napster and MP3--and why
>they will try to control how eBooks are loaded on output devices in a manner
>that will preserve copyright--try connecting to Napster and searching some
>popular author names...
>..In less than 5 minutes, I found audio books by Stephen King, Michael
>Crichton, Dean Koontz, Stephen Hawking, Arthur C. Clarke, Tony Hillerman,
>Tom Clancy, Edwin Newman, and Clive Cussler--all being "shared" among
>members of the Napster community.
