    a variety of science fiction, fantasy, graphic novels presented without digital rights management,
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    meaning your pirates'. brighter formats (?),

  • 1:36 - 1:38
    who are convinced that without DRM, without high prices,
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    they won't make any money and we can prove them different.
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    We can prove them wrong, we can make a huge difference. Thanks.
