Thanks to JSWold, trowley's PM and karma all around.
K, I will try again and see if I can get it to work.

I followed the instructions and still got the error.

I decided to start over again and re-downloaded the scripts and this time it worked.

Everyone thanks for everything.

Any book that is translated gets a new copyright owned by the one (company) doing the translation. The Bible you chose was a recent translation. However, all books work this way, not just Bibles.

I'm pretty sure that's not exactly how it works. by example: if I translate wikipedia to say, klingon, and start selling it, I cannot disregard original creating commons license, I would have to honor it. I also cannot just take "davinci code" or "angels and deamons", translate it to, say, klingon and "own copyright" on that translated book. I'm pretty sure my best bet would be to assume a suit coming in both instances (latter instance is more likely).

I just think it's a bit more complex. translator(s) get their due credit, but they cannot disregard the rights of the original author(s) and the license on which the work was released.

Sorry to start this off-topic discussion. It's just I think that with migrating to ebook as a new media of written word we as readers are loosing a lot of rights. And on top of that we see those completely ridiculous things like DRM put on public domain works

You are right. I did oversimplify since the original copyright rules do have influence on the outcome but the Bible is pre-copyright laws although the original KJV is now under permanent copyright in the UK as is Peter Pan. Public Domain is a default condition after the copyright expires and is not the original authors intent normally. I suspect a translator can even copyright a document he/she created even if the original user released it in public domain. Public Domain means you can do anything you want with the document with no rights reserved by the original author. So you can legally even add DRM if you want to.

KEEP THIS KEY FILE SAFE and DO NOT RUN THE ineptkey.pyw EVER AGAIN! It will replace your working key with a non-working version.

Then go ahead and run the ineptepub.pyw script on each book one at a time to decrypt. I can't tell you how GOOD it felt the first time I was successful with this, after months of messing around with it. I can now read my Sony store ebooks on my jetBook Lite instead of my laptop and it is GLORIOUS.

Hope this helps you as it did me; copy or print these instructions as this post may have to be taken down by the mods for violating something or other...
Hello,

I just found out I have the same problem: I upgraded to ADE 1.7.2 and ran the script to get the key again, thinking it was the right thing to do. Apparently not

Problem is, I can't find a link to ADE 1.7.1 for Mac. Any suggestion?

OK, forget I asked. I think I've got the answer. There is a new version of the ineptkey script (v4.3 or thereabouts), and most importantly for me a new script that actually works on Mac, it's called ineptkeymac. It seems to be working for now (crossing fingers).

Anyway, those new scripts can get the key from new versions of ADE, so I didn't need to find and install an old version. Phew. I'm actually going to be able to read the book I bought.

Hi FlorenceArt, I was going to suggest that you try the new tools available for the latest version of ADE, so I'm glad that you got it to work. I have been able to decrypt all my DRM epubs so far with my "old" key so am not going to touch or "upgrade" anything to cause it to stop working, ha ha. This works so well for me that I stopped purchasing any other format, like secure ereader -- which works on my jetBook Lite BUT what if I get another device that does not do pdb?? Another round of conversions? No thanks. I'm happy to unlock the epub format and hope that it is indeed the "standard" format of the future which will work on any device.

I am not quite sure, but I think that a link to the python scripts is not allowed here on the forum. Please remove them to avoid complications. Mentioning the scripts is allowed.

After using INEPT on an epub there remains a string on every file in the epub.

The string is:
<meta name="Adept.resource" value="urn:uuid:a43f58df-6769-422f-a57f-f0afa42fe7a6"/>

This is distinct from and in addition to the uid ISBN that is used in the epub. The string is in the header of every xml/html content file in the epub.

Is this urn:uuid a benign number, or can it be used as part of the ADEPT DRM to track down the origination of the download, purchaser, or the machine of the originator? Is it a bloody fingerprint?

Frankly, who cares? It doesn't stop you using the file for any legitimate purpose.

It's theoretically possible that an Adobe SDK reader (Digital Editions, txtr on iPhone) could phone home those tags, leading to the disabling of the Adobe account of anybody who used INEPT.

Likely, no; paranoid, yes. But still possible.
