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)
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.

And yet they still don't understand why people are blocking ads.
