A comment speaking to the topic: Why eBook
D[igital-]R[ights]M[anagement] Has to Go:

"Project Gutenberg _has had_ more money from me (a few hundred pounds
in donations by now, easily, plus time spent volunteering as a
proofreader and space and bandwidth given over for distribution, which
has got to be worth something) than Amazon, B&N or any other major
online publisher/distributor ever has. Why? Because their ebooks
aren't locked down to _fuckery_."

This use of "fuckery" seems different from the one defined in HDAS.

"Has had" in place of "has got(ten)" is new to me, but is of no
particular interest. Not to me, IAC.
