Answers.Text: It is still true from my experience.  For example, when looking at books from Baen, you'll find that they do not have DRM, so all of those books should that Usage Unlimited tag.  Here is an example,  "Cats in Space" edited by Bill Fawcett.

  Books that have "**Simultaneous Device Usage:** Unlimited" listed under "Product Details" do not have [DRM (Digital rights management)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management). Those without this disclaimer have DRM.
