Moderator Notice
Mobileread does not allow any discussion whatsoever about how to remove DRM from copyrighted ebooks. This thread is now closed. This appeared after one post was posted in a thread asking for help on how to remove DRM. Does anyone here not know that Apprentice Alf's Tools are for DRM removal. Why the double standard? |

It is allowed to ask, as for the answer a simple: "google apprentice alf" is all that is allowed. None of any tools (if needed, I am not sure) nor specific instructions are here on MR. You seen mods post here, right? If they had a problem they would have closed and possibly delete a long time ago. |

This is a very old example from 2009:
http://www.zdnet.de/41001742/amazon-...er-kindle-vor/ Sorry, the article is in German, but it says that Amazon took legal pressure against MobileRead because the forum had a link to a tool to remove drm. It may be an old example, it may be a small example, but it shows that some companies will take action against anything drm-removal and I'm afraid there have been more actions like this "behind the scene". So, perhaps the "double standard" is the best possible compromise. Last edited by Billi; 08-19-2014 at 04:38 PM. |

The only things you'll find regarding DRM are hints, such as:
Google Apprentice Alf and install the plugins. Use ADE 2..01 instead of 3.x. Etc.... I've had some posts removed and accompanied by a warning in the past, in which my hints were indeed on top of the line.... and inclining forward as well. (Like a child leaning over a doorstep not to be crossed to try and get at the cookie jar.) Give specific download, install and troubleshoot instructions on Alf's Tools, and you'll probably be banned for a few days. Last edited by Katsunami; 08-19-2014 at 04:52 PM. |

Here is a post, which included a quote from you where the original post appears to have been deleted.

I guess different people/sites have different interpretations for words like "detailed", and "help with DRM removal". I would consider help with the tools installation roughly equivalent to help with the tools themselves, so I would consider MR policy a 6.2 on the seriousness scale (on a scale of 1 to 10). |
