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."

  1. "copyright holders" by raygundan · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is kinda confusing if you read it quick, but they meant that it gives copyright holders (like Disney, or whoever) more rights. Not end users. As in "more rights to screw you."

    Many if not most of the pirated copies of Photoshop that I've seen are *not* in the hands of 14-year-olds. They were in the hands of full-grown adults who simply didn't want to pay the $600 (or whatever) for the program.
