Seems like many are moving towards LCP in the future for e-books. But last I heard the NoDRM gang had to exclude the LCP DeDRM from the Calibre plugin due to legal issues (GitHub), and either way it was for an older version of LCP so it wouldn't work nowadays. Do you think someone will come up with a way to DeDRM these?

Internet Archive moving towards LCP as well

I'm sure they will. It's always a cat-and-mouse game.

It's been a while since I read about DRM, but what I recall the challenge is not being able to control end-to-end, which is what really drives trusted boot efforts in both Android and Windows.

If you don't control the hardware and OS, then someone can use it to sidestep DRM.

Yep. Just hoping that as LCP gains prominence, there'll be more work to try and DeDRM it. Right now it's mostly EU that's pushing it
