However, all is not lost: the program can be found on torrent sites such as Demonoid and ThePirateBay when you search for pdflrf.
I'm sure people will also start sharing it through other hosted sources such as rapidshare, megaupload and the like (I bet -- Link deleted - ) will have something too).

Perfect Reply.
I received my Sony reader today and was looking up programs that convert PDF files to LRF or even RTF.
Guess how many
useful programs I found for a noober like myself? NONE.
Then I stumbled upon the multi-step process outlined in a different thread......
multi-step.
Finally, I stumbled upon this thread and the PFRLRF program. Converted my first file, loaded it unto the PRS-505 and BAM!, worked like a charm.
Now, I'm sure it's not perfect and there are some bugs in it but it's simple and effective. Looky here, it actually helps folks. Whadya know.
So far, so good with the program.
I'd throw the guy some greenbacks for this program.
As others have said, the argument for removing this piece of software from the forum borders on petty. Do people realize just how many minor copyright violations are present at any one time?
I could understand if this guy was making a profit from this but he wasn't. I understand that he may have used open source code yet does not want/hasn't released his code but the program is FREE. He's not profiting from it, at least, monetarily.
