Requiem 3.3 Cracks iBook’s DRM

If up until now iBooks were protected by Apple’s FairPlay digital rights management (DRM) and they couldn’t be played on any unapproved devices, the latest variant of the popular protection-remover called Requiem has the ability to crack the DRM, allowing digital books to be transformed into any eBook format.

Gizmodo informs that the free Requiem 3.3 is able not only to remove the protection on media content (music and movies) taken from iTunes, but the protection on iBooks as well.

On the other hand, the FairPlay DRM is constantly patched up by the Cupertino company with the purpose of ensuring that the features offered by apps such as Requiem are short-lived, which means that this security hole may be addressed pretty soon.

In the meantime, individuals are able to convert all their iBooks to other formats in case they want to read their favorite literature on other platforms than the one provided by Apple.
