The tool by itself doesn't do anything to break DRM. On the contrary, it can be used for my Kindle to purchase books protected with DRM. On the other hand, some argue that because this tool spills out a PID number and because this number could be used with help of other tools to remove DRM, it is, in effect, also evil.
Well, as I argued in the thread referenced I still think that kindlefix is a cirumvention of DRM but I really have no idea if this is a legally problematic or legally allowed circumvention. kindlepid I do not see any problem with.
