Removing drm may become a criminal offense. As one poster notes: No more Apprentice Alf. It may turn out that Amazon won't even need kfx to stop book conversion.
Please stop this scare-mongering. We are dealing with at least as many jurisdictions as there are countries. DRM removal has been illegal in some countries for some time. In other countries it is uncertain or questionable. In some countries there are no problems or generous exceptions. I don't believe you are so naive as to believe that simply making something illegal is going to eliminate it. Particularly if the law is a bad one. Alf can be hosted in a jurisdiction where there is no problem, or distributed via Tor or I2P or other deep web technologies if necessary.
