Hang on. You said that it was a "Fact" that all major DRM had been broken. MobiPocket is without question a "major DRM". It has not been broken, therefore your statement is incorrect. Don't try to wriggle out of it by making excuses!

It's not closed, since I can rip a CD to my hard drive. It's not proprietary because just about anyone can create software that can read a CD.

Please go and look up the word "proprietary" in a dictionary. It means that the format is owned and controlled by someone - in the case of CDs, that someone is Philips. Being proprietary has nothing to do with the ease or otherwise of creating that format.

You are confusing the format with the legal process to make a company that creates CDs.

No, I'm not. It is you who are confused about the meaning of the word "proprietary"
