Wallcraft,

Thanks for the reply. That does add an additional element of difficulty to the project.

So it has taken a while to put together a team willing to do this on a continuing basis. Is writing a DRM-stripping README also illegal in the US? My guess is that no one would be convicted for doing so, but someone could be charged and a defense would be expensive and a major life complication.
