No half wsy decent security system is going to let you try 3B passwords per sec until you get the right one. This basically works only when the hacker has your password hash file, as is allegedly the case with the Sony hack. (If it gets to that point, you have serious problems.) And the hash algorithm mentioned in the article is an old and deprecated one anyway.
Removing ebook DRM is trivial computationally.
