If MOBI allows screen readers then the exception does not apply to any ebook that has a MOBI version. Even if the version you have is LIT (say), the fact that a MOBI version exists is enough to void the exception for all versions of that particular ebook.

On the other hand, if MobiPocket Reader does allow screen readers then it could be argued that this isn't an "effective" DRM scheme. The entire point of ebook DRM being to prevent access to the text.
