DRM, or digital rights management, is the system that prevents you from duplicating a certain digital content, whether it’s music or an ebook, for example.
‘what prevents you from sharing books with others of your ebook.
Peter Purgathoffer, an associate professor at the University of Technology of Vienna, has created this Lego robot that sends crisis in the Kindle DRM systems.
The robot repeatedly press the button “next page” of the kindle and simultaneously take a snapshot of the page with the webcam of the laptop. The images are then processed through OCR software and converted into text to become a new e-book completely free of DRM.
The best thing about the work done by this robot is based on a “process of transformation”, the process is perfectly legal in many legal systems currently in place.
course, you can use this system exclusively for personal use. Just if you want a copy of the book and your kindle.
But you can not use it to sell to other content or for profit purposes. Mica’re probably not thinking of selling to third parties or spread via torrent ebooks obtained with this method. True?
