I bought an e-book using LCP DRM from a local online bookstore. I downloaded the license file (.lcpl), opened it in Thorium and copy-pasted the passphrase. It downloaded and opened just fine.
I then tried to do the same in Calibre, having installed an extension for lcpl download support and an old version of DeDRM that's supposed to support LCP DRM removal (I added the passphrase in the DeDRM plugin settings). The epub downloaded just fine from the .lcpl file, but couldn't be opened since the DRM wasn't removed.
I also tried downloading the epub file through Thorium and importing that into Calibre. Also didn't work.
I read that the DeDRM plugin does not support removing the latest version of LCP DRM. Can be good to know when buying e-books from stores using it. I definitely won't be buying from the same store again, since that would require using their app or Thorium to read it.
I'll just boycott any store or library that only offers books with LCP DRM until the new version is broken.
