The DRM freedom fighters at the Free Software Foundation have set their sights on the Kindle, finding Amazon guilty of hypocrisy, legal treachery and worse through the gimpy design of the curious e-book reader.

And spare a moment to consider where we'd be, intellect-wise, if sharing, distribution and resale of printed matter had been subject to such restrictions from the get-go.
