I don't "pirate" it, I just remove the DRM from the file. This also allows me to convert to another format, meaning I can buy the ebooks from whoever I want without being locked into their devices.
But I'll first see if I can get a non-DRMed version. storybundle.com and humblebundle.com sometimes have nice offers. O'Reilly doesn't do DRM (although it's quite the niche market). Also we have a local bookseller who sells tons of books without DRM (although it seems books in English are still DRM'ed)/div>
According to what I've read from Troy Hunt's analysis, the passwords were hashed. Although they used a simple MD5 hash without a salt.
To me it seems that whoever implemented it, knew that a password should be hashed, but wasn't knowledgeable or experienced enough to know exactly how to do it properly./div>

No actual content used, so there's no need to pay. I'm sure the publishers will love the amount of traffic these links generate!/div>
