A history of DRM hacking
![]() "Like a creeping fog, DRM smothers more and more media in its clammy embrace, but the sun still shines down on isolated patches of the landscape. This isn't always due to the decisions of corporate executives; often it's the work of hackers who devote considerable skill to cracking the digital locks that guard everything from DVDs to e-books. Their reasons are complicated and range from the philosophical to the criminal, but their goals are the same: no more DRM. We're going to revisit the history of the most famous DRM cracks. While the stories themselves are fascinating, one of the merits of such an exercise is to use the lessons of the past to consider the challenges of the future." Follow the above link for the rest of the story. |

DRM has the capacity of killing the e-book soon. The greed of all these companies combined is why it is still in function.
It is inadmissible that while pretending to protect the rights of writers they restrict sales by overcharging. No wonder sales of e-books have'nt taken off yet. |
