I realize that we are not supposed to talk about anti-DRM tactics (hmmm, wondering about the day when were are not allowed to think about them...), but in the Adobe case, does such talk violate Adobe's policies or the original publisher's? If it doesn't violate Adobe's policies, then there may be some gray legal area here, where you can talk about De-Drm tactics because you're not talking about a specific publisher. Right??

I am sure this Adobe problem with the iPad is related to the anti-Flash campaign by Apple.

So what's a consumer to do? Do I re-buy all my DRM content that I am now no longer able to read? Or am I now forced to go off doing illegal activities? Hasn't Adobe responded to this yet?
