in the most practical way possible, while at the same time protecting the hard work of

our authors. DRM-free content continues to be instrumental in making that happen,

providing the flexibility and freedom that is essential for an efficient and enhanced

learning experience. That’s why we’ve been DRM-free from the beginning – we’ll

never put limits on the innovation of our users.”
