Sony tells it like it is

If you buy a Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader System (PRS-500), you can get 100 classic books “free” as ebooks. These are books that are in the public domain, so Sony doesn’t have to pay royalties on them, though Sony slaps DRM on them. I thought it would be nice to have a copy of the U.S. Constitution in ebook form for reference.

The contents of the ebook seem OK, other than that it doesn’t include the 27th Amendment. But the info page was very interesting:

Sony PRS-500 Info Page: US Constitution

They categorized the Constitution as fiction!  I guess that’s not too surprising, as that’s how the current U.S. administration views it.

    Good thing it was Sony. If Micro$oft had done it there would be no second ammendment.

  2. Since it doesn’t describe the US system of government, and hasn’t for years, I guess it would have to be a work of fiction.
