Yes... and no. I've had this discussion before here I think. None of the DRMs have actually been "cracked". People have just determined how to decrypt them if the key is known. So, if you have the key that was used to create the LIT file, then you can remove the DRM. This is pretty much true for any DRM scheme... since something that legitamatly reads the file needs to have the key to decrypt it.

I think "easy" means that the tools to do so are readily avialable. I can remove the encryption from any LIT if I have the keys for it... even if I didn't buy it.
