That may be, but the format/DRM wasn't cracked until Amazon put out the "Kindle For PC" program. (Maybe the mobi DRM crackers worked on it before that, but the format itself was unreadable?) Once Kindle For PC came out, it took only a few weeks for Topaz to be cracked.

I suspect the ibooks DRM will follow the same pattern: once key & lock are both available on a computer that allows programming, someone will figure out how to make unauthorized keys and open the rest of the contents to copying or conversion. Ibooks DRM will remain unbroken exactly as long as Apple keeps it inside the walled garden.
