Let's hope you're right. I'm curious though, do you base that on actual time-to-circumvention experience with ebook DRM systems? Might be interesting to compile some data points on that ...
The exploit that's currently available to extract the key from an authenticated instance of Adobe Digital Editions for Windows only applies to a very old version of the app, so I don't have working memories of how long it took last time.
Hmm, that's repeatedly not worked for me IIRC, but then I'm doing it on Wine rather than an actual Windows. Actually, now that I'm forced to recall the details ... maybe the problem was actually getting the newer version to run due to the .NET requirement.
Still though, different app versions but same DRM system version - the relevant info would be how long it took to defeat that version of the DRM the last time, right?

That's not true; you can read the key from 3.0 (the latest) Digital Editions with no problems at all.

Unless they proclaim that it is unhackable...then you'd better bring a stopwatch.
