The ease with which material can be shared via the  Internet has created new levels of unease for publishers, who worry that  with the push of a single button, their copyrighted books could end up  freely accessible to millions.  But is the solution really the  implementation of draconian digital rights management restrictions,  which can create impediments for authorized users, especially in  institutional environments?  For Momentum Press, the answer is �no:�   the user (and buyer) experience is paramount and while risks exist, a  new publisher has the luxury of adopting unorthodox methods to face  these challenges. MP has opted for an approach that ensures broadest  possible use amongst authorized users, and experience is proving that  accessibility isn't a problem, it's a solution.
