Pulling Strings with Puppet

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:
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...
Thanks
James Turnbull

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.
Best,
Adam

How Apress choose to sell the book is something I don't overly influence
- - as is the case with many authors and their publishers.
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.

James Turnbull

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.
All the best,

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.

I assumed Adam meant the "password" copyright protection as "poor man's
DRM". But yes you are correct - technically that isn't DRM.
