Forget the paperless office dream, but how about a paperless living room?

The Zinio DRM isn't as scary it seems.: The system is in place to make sure that one person doesn't buy a subscription and then post a link for it on a blog so everbody can access for free. It works by matching your computer's hardware/software to your username and account.

Like iTunes, you are allowed to install on a limited number of computers. As long as the computer is listed on your active account and the magazine is one that you've purchased rights to, you can easily move a magazine from one computer to another. The only reason you'd need to contact Zinio is if the publication was a one-time download, such as a textbook.

DRM lets publishers and copyright holders be sure that their content isn't being distributed without license. DRM has and is being used by content providers such as Apple, Inc. Microsoft, Sony, BBC and others.

But wait, there's more! There is actually a "share with friend" feature that allows you to send a full copy of most magazines to your friends. Once they've made a Zinio account, they'll get access to whatever issue you've sent them. This is one of many way's that Zinio is working with our users to make a more robust digital magazine experience.; Posted by: ZinioZak Posted on: 05/01/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
