The law in different parts of the world has differences but generally these are only in time or details. In general these details may be pointed out if known but breaking DRM of any kind in any part of the world will not be posted here if we are aware of it, even if someone happens to live where it is not illegal to break DRM, since we have no idea who might be reading it and providing these instructions is against our policy. Does that make it clearer?
Now for eBooks that are posted on the web site we will obey Canadian law but the user should be aware that they may or may not be breaking the law to download the file we post. Even someone might be breaking the law to post a file depending on where they live. We will not be enforcing those kinds of differences since we cannot in any event and there is no legal obligation for the place you say you live is true so we won't be using that except as guidance to help someone.

Why is there a difference in principle here. For posting books you refer to Canadian laws. Why is not the same principle used for other things?
I also really do not see the difference with saying "It is possible, ConvertLit, google" and telling how to do it.
Have i understood it correctly that the country of the question asker does not matter if the answer I give is just referring to that it is possible to break the DRM and give the unique name that you can google? i do not have to point out that it can be illegal then or?
