Oh, I definitely agree; the fact that they took the Digital Editions functionality out of Acrobat 8.0 (and 9.0, I presume) so they could create a separate, off-the-charts-horrible Flash-based viewer makes them pure evil, and I'll personally cheer when Adobe's DRM is broken (hopefully soon; does anybody know if there's been any progress at all?). But it'll still be illegal, even when it's only used for format-shifting of legally-owned content. Which, to my mind, just shows the absurdity of those provisions in the DMCA, but what can you do?
