I'm not especially worried if someone does use my script to get PID for decrypting their legally obtained books (heck, I do it myself). If you like giving up your freedoms, be my guest, but please don't decide for others.
That said, I don't know what is the mythical "40 character PID" you're talking about, but I hear that many library sites do accept Kindle PIDs. And the scripts linked here don't do the actual decryption anyway, so I'm not sure what the four-letter word has to do with it.
Right. You know as well as I do that Amazon consideres the PID a "secret key" and they've been going out of their way to shutdown licensees from accepting Kindle keys e.g. Fictionwise et al. I'd be as happy as the next guy if it weren't so but Amazon has to do what the publishers demand.

All I can do is point out to the horse where the cliff is, it's up to the horse to not jump off it.
