ATG Article of the Week, March 29, 2011

Steal this E-Book by Jon Bruner. Forbes, April 11, 2011, pg. 24 (print issue).

This is actually a one-page interview (two pages on the Web) with Tim O’Reilly of O’Reilly Media. O’Reilly has dropped DRM on all his titles. O’Reilly says if he sells 10,000 copies and makes money he is happy and if he sells 100,000 copies without DRM and still sells 10,000 he is happy. Plus having 100,000 copies in circulation is way better than 10,000 copies.
