Agreed. But, we've yet to establish if indeed they do take away rights that the law provides. I would have thought HN would have uncovered such a law by now.

A cursory glance at the Wikipedia article on DRM suggests the law is favourable torwards DRM and all that that entails.

It probably wouldn't be a "law" per se in terms of statutes, it would be down to case law. In other words we won't know until this (or something very similar) goes to court.

It's not so much about DRM per se but rather about what rights you can expect when "buying" an e-book.
