Technology Review: Breaking Microsoft's e-Book Code [ Thanks to Paul
Eggert for this link. ] 

"Technology Review recently learned of a home-brewed decryption program
that defeats the most advanced antipiracy features built into Microsoft
Reader, a leading e-book program downloaded by over a million people
since its debut in August 2000." 

"The program's creator, a U.S. cryptography expert who asked not to be
identified, says he wanted to circumvent the 'two-persona' limit, a rule
built into Microsoft Reader at the behest ofpublishers that allows
purchasers to read the same e-book on up to two devices, but no more." 

"The software dumps unprotected copies of these files into a new folder
on the user's computer-as the programmer demonstrated to Technology
Review using an actual owner-exclusive e-book purchased from a major
online bookstore."
