I think DRM peddlers are making a mistake by not supporting all available platforms. This requires resources, but stripping DRM becomes much more widespread when DRM-supporting Readers are unavailable.

It is now possible to strip DRM from all popular ebook formats. Adobe's DRM scheme is called ADEPT so see: Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented and Adobe ADEPT DRM for PDF circumvented.
Yeah. it's lucky there are people there to do these scripts
But you shouldn't have to do this to read something you paid for. If at least DRM where useful in preventing piracy, but they are not. Quite the contrary actually, they are encouraging it by making the customers life a pain.
