That's great. Maybe we should organize some infrastructure that allows us to generate the diff for a particular ebook version purchased from say, so and so URL and de-DRMed using so and so tool. The tool for applying the diff should check the md5sum of the source file to make sure it doesn't mess it up.

Ah, but this is, effectively, just a tool to do the format shifting yourself.

That's a good idea.

It's not questionable at all in the UK; it's flat-out illegal at present, although that's likely to change in the near future.

Why was the thread that contained a perfectly legal diff file for Mistborn removed?

I had made a thread that contianed a Python script for doing a diff and the diff file. It required people to have the original PDF in order to generate an LRF. The original PDF was not given out. Just the Python script and the diff file. I went to look it up to try to figure out how to use the Python script again and it no longer exists.
