Quoting "The black book of communism"? Really? That books is considered a joke by many scholars, lets say that it is at least controversial. Even if you argue 100mil victims of communist regimes, you can hardly say that it is a "unique distinction". Capitalism has killed much more, fasism has had its share too. It is a mute arguement. If you want to argue against communism/capitalism/fasism, etc, at least do it with some serious arguments like the economics, liberties, their feasibility, which system is more just, etc.

"Is the open source community boycotting ebook formats?"

Hardly. Calibre is an excelent converter, library manager and it's compatible with most of the readers out there for syncing. You could try converting from pdf to e-pub with it, although PDF is a lousy input format.

Despite what most of the comments are focusing on, IMHO limited ISPs is not the issue here. There could be a dozen ISPs and still NN should be enforced.

TFA claims that if you don't like NN you have to leave the country. That's true. But guess what, that happens with every law in any country. It's a generic argument against any law. And there are many laws like NN. When a commodity is part of the structure of a country's economy there usually are laws that ensure equal access to it.

E.g. you can not force different car or truck owners to use different lanes and speeds just because you built and manage the road. There are state laws that deal with the speed limits, etc. If you don't like it, you have to move to another country.

France also ain't communist. And this proves?
