If and when it happens it won't be the end of the world for DRM removal. It's likely that lack of necessity has resulted in no one seriously working on defeating it so far. |

And no, not every internet service provider offers wi-fi cable modems. Which is why standalone router and powerline networking hardware is available all over and continually under development. There are hundreds of ISPs and they offer a wide range of products. If anything, WiFiRouter/modems are typically extra charge and given their limited range, it makes sense to go WiFi-less on the modem and run gigabit wireless around the house. Especially if you run a home media server. Last edited by fjtorres; 01-07-2017 at 05:09 PM. |

I had a look in the settings of Comcast's router and it wasn't nearly as secure. I had their router connected to mine and I wasn't using theirs. But they were able to disable the WiFi remotely. |

Also there's no cable TV available in this area at all. It's satellite or nothing. My sister uses satellite internet which has a fairly low cap. She can only watch a few Netflix TV shows or movies before maxing out so she doesn't do that at all. Even just using it for email, music, books and browsing she sometimes maxes out. I just don't think anyone living anywhere can assume anything about anyone living somewhere else based on what they have. It's different all over. Barry |

I'm doing a lot of guessing here, I admit. This isn't something I've dealt with as a programmer. But I do know that DRM is mighty hard to crack and that removal programs for various media require a player provided by the vendor. Barry |

If you have the key, you can open the file, and then write it back again without the encryption. |

With any DRM system, the end user (or the end user's equipment) must be given the decryption key.

AFAIK, the only thing you can do is to scramble the key before saving it; but hashing is already impossible, because you can't reverse that. You need to be able to reverse the scramble to get the key back to read the books.
