Publishers aren't as evil compared to big tech. Maybe a random lieutenant of hell versus Lucifer's advisor here.

You can also buy DRM free self-published books quite easily nowadays. Amazon doesn't have a monopoly on e-commerce, not yet at least.

Most publishers demand their ebooks be sold with DRM. This can be seen as an aspect of "evil."

Haha yes, they are even more evil en masse.

I don’t think that’s even possible.
