eBook Vendors to Fight Piracy By Sharing Customer Data With Anti-Piracy Organization

In a move to help combat piracy, eBook merchants in The Netherlands are going to begin adding unique digital watermarks to the digital books that they sell in order to track the individual copies of eBooks down to the user.

In order to do this, they must hand over customer data to an anti-piracy group. Torrent Freak has more:

The agreement will see vendors connected to the eBoekhuis platform share previously-private customer data directly with copyright holders and anti-piracy group BREIN.
