-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A number of you have asked me what''s the best way to buy the Puppet book that maximises returns to me (and shucks aren''t you all nice... :) ). With this in mind I''ve set-up an Amazon Referral link for the book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590599780?ie=UTF8&tag=puppet0e-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1590599780 If you use this link I get a referral fee that I can then spend on books at Amazon. :) If you don''t fancy buying from Amazon then obviously the title is available via e-book from Apress at: http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590599780 Now back to our scheduled programming...

James, I''m really bothered by the fact that the ''ebook'' contains DRM. In fact, I can''t even access my purchased copy because I forgot my pass phrase. I really wish you would have taken a stand against this DRM when working on this project.

Personally I oppose DRM - as you would expect from my roles as a member of the Linux Australia council, on the committee of Linux Users Victoria and fairly active in the FOSS community generally. But in this case the matter of how Apress license their e-books was out of my hands. In the event Apress do a second edition I will take that up with them again. With regard to your forgotten pass phrase Apress are generally happy to recover the lost phrase or failing that I will provide you with another copy of the book personally.

I believe the pass phrase is simply the email address you ordered the ebook with. That''s what it is on mine.

James, I''m glad to hear you are against DRM and are planning to oppose it going forward. As for my copy, I was able to access it again.

Um, the ebook does not use DRM technology. It uses just an old fashion password protection scheme. This is a reasonable, if some what annoying copyright management that still lets you share the ebook just like a normal book.
