No, you misunderstand me. What I meant was that MobiPocket's code for their reader obviously quite legitimately "unlocks" the book so it can be read by the devices that the file is keyed to. That code clearly does not violate the DCMA. It's only a DCMA violation if a 3rd party writes code to bypass somebody else's DCMA.
If a legitimate iLiad owner used a program "sat on top of" MobiPocket's code, but directed the unlocked output to a file rather than to the screen, I suspect that would be "legit", provided that one was fully licenced to use the original code (ie as an iLiad owner).
I could of course be wrong
