Doesn't matter, as the original publisher no longer has the rights.
It is worded like this:
- Copyright by [author's name]
- copying, storing, yada yada, only with express written permission by publisher.
Now the second point is important. And they cleverly do not not name themselves by name. When I look it always says "publisher." The store you bought the ebook from would wisely not complain about circumventing their DRM, as they sold an ebook they no longer could sell legally (since the old publisher no longer holds the distribution rights). The written permission should be obtainable by the author that got the rights back, and is for all intents and purposes the publisher.
