It's no secret how to decrypt Mobi or ePub files, anyway.

Almost all encryption/decryption algorithms are "public".
You can't (in a reasonable timeframe) PGP encrypted massages without the key.
But you need the key to read a DRM'd ebook. That's like using PGP to encrypt an email and sending the key along as an attachment.
