Is there actually anyone left on earth still generating DRM'd Mobipocket content for a Kindle PID other than Amazon?
And has any site ever supported a 40 character Mobipocket PID to make a DRM'd book you can deliver to the Kindle application running on an iPhone? Heck is there even a supported method of delivering such a mythical book to the Kindle app running on an iPhone?
Oh I get it now! You need the PID to crack the .azw files from Amazon and convert them to some other platform! It's now a DMCA circumvention tool due to having no legitimate usage anymore. You know, like back when you could enter the generated Kindle PID into fictionwise.com and get a nice legal DRM'd file that worked on your Kindle after fixing a header bit.
I didn't realize Mobileread hosted direct links to DMCA circumvention tools these days.
@igor The figleaf on this pair of tools is pretty much gone dude. Exploring is one thing, helping people get their wife as a screen saver is wonderful but helping rip down the DRM won't set the content free. They'll just pick up their marbles and stick to selling sequestered carbon sheets like they've done for centuries. This isn't the music business: no one needs an electronic device to read a book. They can very easily and simply quit licensing content for electronic distribution and there won't be even a ripple in their profits. With power comes the responsibility to use it wisely.
