So please take the bother to download to PC, make a backup and avoid KFX.
This publisher would like the ebooks to be passed on to your grandchildren in the same basis as paper books.
DRM is an illusion. HD camera in a dark room and a 42" TV. Perfect copy. Even the multichannel analogue audio can be re-encoded.
Lego based robot to turn pages and take scan of each page on a big kindle. Then OCR.
Industrial pirates cut spine off on a review copy, bulk scan and OCR.
But industrial pirates and those uploading DRM removed or DRM Free copies, for free or sale are violating copyright. They can be sued which unlike criminal actions has a no statutory limitation in most countries.
DRM isn't about stopping piracy, it's about control of the consumer that validly bought it. That's why we will never use DRM.
