I'm not just speculating. I know for certain that for my account the default credit card number is no longer one of those seeds. The basic structure of DRM itself is unchanged. The Nook apps and devices continue working with new and old books because they know the proper hash created from the seeds. The program saves the hash for previously opened books and would receive any new hash when it connects to B&N to sync new books. Other readers and tools no longer work for newly downloaded books because I don't know what seeds to give them to create the new hash.
