I suggest deleting the link, since you probably don't have the right to distribute the ebook.

Three possibilities: a) ebook is DRM-free but uses MOBI-specific compression, b) MOBI is "content encrypted", c) your PID is entered incorrectly on the mobidedrm command line.

For (a), try importing the file into Calibre and reading it. If you can read it, then convert to ePub using Calibre (ePub is just a ZIP file, unzip - edit - rezip - convert back to MOBI).

For (b): MOBI has a DRM mode where there is no PID but the ebook is encrypted and can only be read by MobiPocket's own Reader. See Content Encryption.

If (c) then there are other threads giving advice, but the fist thing to try is put all arguments in quotes (single quotes on the Mac). You could also try pid_checksum.py.
