Adobe Finds No Elcomsoft-Cracked E-Books

Posted by timothy on from the they're-all-hidden-by-the-decss-pirates dept.

dJCL writes "I noticed at BlackMask.com that the Adobe investigators have found not a single e-book that was decrypted by Elcomsoft's Advanced e-Book Processor, even despite the months of intensive searching of around 100,000 pirated e-books that they could find(i.e. something else was used to crack them). Just love how the laws have been able to stop people from pirating things these days."

    Don't act like you're not the original poster.

    You got modded down because you're an asshole.

    So let me get this straight. I can go buy a gun, with little or no background checking, and have the potential to kill dozens of children, and it isn't illegal.

    Having a gun doesn't mean that you are going to kill someone.

    Or, I could make a program that could theoretically be used to pirate some stupid ebooks, and that's illegal.

    Having a program used to steal a companies intellectual property is, uh, stealing. I think the contrast between having a gun that has uses other then killing someone, and having a program that's only use is to steal from a company is quite clear.

    I remember HEARING about them, and deciding that XP isn't for me. I have Media Player for OS 9, and that along with Realplayer are the only applications I use from Classic (besides Spaceward Ho, who could deny that game some processor time).
