I vaguely remember this now (the key was stolen from Intel, wasn't it?). Okay, point taken; DRM is very hard to make practically difficult to break even for people who just want to back their stuff up and/or format shift. I still won't buy DRM'ed books, but I have more hope that it will eventually be seen to be more trouble than it's worth by the industry.
