Monstrous new form of DRM will re-write books in the name of profit.

PaidContent has a story about a new DRM (Digital Rights Management) system in development by German researchers that will change individual words in an eBook so that pirated copies can be tracked back to their legitimate owners.

Read the article for specifics and tell me that this little trick doesn’t sound monstrous. Clearly, any publisher interested in this form of DRM values profit and product control over art, talent and creative intent.
