• The article discusses how iPhone users in the European Union (EU) can now easily pirate audiobooks and ebooks using a new feature called "Reader" in the Safari web browser. This feature allows users to bypass in-app purchases and access content directly from the web, making it easier to circumvent digital rights management (DRM) and obtain copyrighted material for free.

• The article explains that the "Reader" feature was introduced by Apple as a way to comply with new EU regulations that require companies to allow users to access content they have purchased outside of specific apps. However, this feature has also been exploited by users to access pirated content, as it provides a way to bypass the usual payment and authentication processes.

• The article highlights concerns from publishers and authors about the potential impact of this piracy on the ebook and audiobook industries. They argue that widespread piracy could lead to decreased sales and revenue, ultimately harming the ability of creators to continue producing high-quality content. The article also notes that while Apple has implemented the "Reader" feature, it is ultimately up to users to use it responsibly and respect intellectual property rights.
