f I was to download a library eBook and strip the DRM, I could then read it without worrying about the PID and if I deleted it after I was done, then that would be legal and if I needed more time, renew it. |

The copyright holder has clearly given the reader permission to display the ebook on a uniquely identified Kindle. This is the conventional use for DRM (limiting access to authorized devices), which kindlefix honors. So kindlefix isn't circumventing the DRM so far as the copyright holder is concerned. It is circumventing the DRM as far as the Kindle is concerned, but why would a device have "rights" under copyright?

Isn't this discussion about books that do not work on the Kindle as a default? And then I would say that the copyright holder have in many cases explicitly not made the book available on the Kindle.

Anyway, this thread is about how to make Igorsk's scripts work. All other discussion should move to another thread. |

Kindle owners who read kindlefix-ed ebooks on their Kindle may be violating Amazon's terms of service, but this isn't an ebook copyright violation and there is nothing illegal in Igor's software. |

You can't make a blanket statement like that unless you know for sure it's actually true. And that is something we just do not know. |

I'm having a problem with my mobidedrm. I put mobidedrm2.py into both the script/my ebooks folders, i brought up command prompt i double checked to see if they are both there.
Scripts> dir- mobidedrm2.py (seen) My ebooks> dir- mobidedrm2.py (seen) Yet when i command Users\Denise\Documents\My ebooks> mobidedrm2.py Nothing happens. Even when i try pulling it up in C;\Python26\Tools\Scripts> mobidedrm2.py Nothing again. I'm seeing the files in the directory but the Copyright thingy doesn't show up. What am i doing wrong? |

I am responding to the statement that you made that using kindlefix.py is legal. It may very well be not legal to use it. Are you really sure it is legal? If you are can you explain how you came to that conclusion? I'm not saying it is legal or it isn't. What I want to know is why you think it is legal.

Also, if you have extensions turnes off, it's possible that the filename you really have could be mobidedrm.py.txt. If that is the case, turn them on. Go to Windows Explorer and then Tools | Folder Options | View and then uncheck Hide Extensions for known filetypes and finally click apply to all folders. I am not sure if this options applies to the command prompt or not. |
