What makes Kindle DRM removable and not Sony?

Different program, different filetypes. The one used for Kindle files has had its encryption broken; Sony's hasn't. Tech issue.

Removing DRM is illegal. Sort of. The tools to remove DRM are illegal in the US, although the actual *act* of removing the DRM should be covered under personal use laws & such.
The FBI has not busted individuals for breaking decryption software, but they have busted people for distributing decryption methods. (We haz
illegal maths in this country!) Whether your connection with your god allows you to break laws when you're not hurting anyone when doing so is your problem. (Lack of a deity would probably make that decision easier.)
