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. Where did they get these 10,000 ebooks ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I am curious to know where they got these 10,000 ebooks from. Did they hunt these down on the P2P nets like everyone else? Finding 10,000 ebooks to confirm that not a single one of them was cracked using Elcomsoft software is no simple task. Some copyright laws must have been violated somehwere.

    Apple Computer Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) latest operating system, OS X, also disables some of Adobe's copyright prevention functions

    Reading an e-book disables some of Adobe's copyright prevention functions.
