Adobe "digital editions" spy system sends users' complete reading logs to Amazon.

Adobe says this is legitimate because users agree to it in the EULA, but pressuring people to click "Ok, spy on me" does not excuse it.

This article focuses on the fact that the NSA can watch this data passing on the net, avoiding the need to use the PAT RIOT act to collect it directly from Adobe. It legitimizes the snooping by saying that's needed to enforce DRM, which legitimizes DRM too. According to the article's view, all this would be fine, if only Adobe didn't also leak everyone's dossier.

As a defense of readers' rights, this is pitifully weak. DRM, being evil itself, can't justify anything.
