Amazon and DRM changes

[lkmiller]

GitHub removed the entire repository for DeDRM until the LCP support was pulled. If you want it, I imagine it is still out there somewhere -- the internet is forever. Although I believe Readium also changed things so that it no longer works anyway. If someone's updated it, they'd be foolish to put it on GitHub.

DeDRM was great until it became a joke when its creator complied by reversing their program to prevent people from removing DRM found in .lcpdf files. These companies trying to stop DRM removals just make me bored at what the world has become. I want knowledge for free. But the people are not playing that game. It bores me. But it is what it is.

Rant over.

Paying for your content is not the issue It's DRM that's the issue. It prevents you from reading your eBooks where you want.

They were DMCA'd. They were risking takedown by not complying, which would make the entirety of DeDRM unavailable.

I have the version of DeDRM with LCP support. It only works with LCP 1.0. That version of DeDRM cannot remove LCP v2.5.
