All anti-piracy mechanisms always end up only hurting the legitimate users, not the pirates (who always find ways to circumvent them and end up with a more user-friendly product!). --- ### Antonin Scriabin *25 Apr 2012, 13:31 · in reply to Fred Kiesche* Nice!

I love the new cover art! I think it's one of the better covers I've seen on a Wolfe book.

Particularly gratifying to me as I find the majority of them quite cringe-worthy. Here's hoping for a new era of quality book covers for Wolfe editions! -DOJP > On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 4:14 AM, Darth Ed wrote: > On Apr 25, 2012, at 4:47 AM, Daniel Petersen wrote: > http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57420219-1/tor-books-to-drop-drm-on-entire-catalog-of-e-books/ >> I'm not techy enough to know what's the fuss about DRM etc., but it's >> news to me that there's a new edition of Peace coming out with a nice new >> cover and an afterword by Neil Gaiman! > I love the new cover art!
