Yes.
I am suggesting that it is ludicrous to imagine running afoul, of MobileRead's laws against sharing copyrighted books, if one uploads a password-protected ZIP and PM's the password to the troubleshooter.

But perhaps you glossed over the part where I mentioned encryption.



But if I encrypt an ebook with a throwaway gpg key, and throw away the key, so even I can't decrypt it, is the resulting file protected by copyright?

It is "the output from an algorithmic transformation", but at the same time, nowhere in the world is the necessary information to translate it from white noise.


I'll reiterate:
