Adobe's ADEPT DRM Broken

Posted by timothy on from the it-was-just-all-caps dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I love cabbages has reverse-engineered Adobe's ADEPT DRM (e-book protection). On February 18, I love cabbages released code that decrypts EPUB e-books protected with ADEPT and followed that up on February 25, with code that decrypts PDF e-books protected with ADEPT. On March 4, I love cabbages was given a DMCA take down notice. And there's plenty of evidence he got it right. DS:TNG (Dmitry Sklyarov: The Next Generation)?"

    Oh how COOOL someone was able to figure out a new way to STEAL because, after all, intellectual property is EVIL! Yeah, right.

    Don't listen to broke foreign people who have to trade their time for money or the guys who are 28-38. They don't know Right from Wrong like their older and younger peers and would destroy all civilization if we followed them around (CmdrTaco excluded, I think.)

    Go ahead and tag me RIAA, MPAAEFG or whatever kind of Troll. (I'm none of that.)
