Anyone else remember the mention years back of a project where an ebook could be opened on a computer and screenshots automatically done of each page. The accumulated image files were then feed through OCR and used to create a DRM free version of the ebook.

There was a demo using Lego Technic to turn the page. It was to make the point that DRM is futile. I think in Austria.

Now there are mechanical page turners, even if BT isn't supported.

Actual pirates also cut off spine and use duplex feeder and scanner for books not available as ebooks.

Back in 2008 Microsoft did a solid by shutting down their "PlaysForSure" servers, teaching their buyers of DRMed stuff a lesson
