E-Book Copy Protection, For What It's Worth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the xerography dept.

AudioBooksForFree.Com writes "WHSmith have challenged AudioBooksForFree.Com to breaks Microsoft Reader e-book protection. It just took 30 minutes." No, they didn't break the encryption; instead, this is just an application of the idea that it's very hard to make something which can be displayed but not copied.

    sure it would be cool if my "Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical" was bluetooth, but why?? It works? I don't need to telnet into it or something? Oh, and you'll never get me to use a wireless keyboard. It would be way too easy to sniff passwords. (So maybe it is possible to put a dongle and sniff passwords. Wireless makes it childsplay though.)
