This script is an implementation of Institute of Biblio-Immunology's First Communique:
"Identifying and Removing Verso/BooXtream 'Social DRM' EPUB eBook Watermarks"
It removes the various manifestations of BooXtream's 'Social DRM' from ePub files.
The seven DRM watermarks that are removed are:
"WM0-2 are overt (readily visible) watermarks and are optional (meaning they may not necessarily be present):
[WM0] -- Ex Libris Image Watermark
[WM1] -- Disclaimer Page Watermark
[WM2] -- Footer Watermarks
WM3-6 are covert (not readily visible) watermarks and are always present:
[WM3] -- Filename Watermarks
[WM4] -- Timestamp Fingerprinting
[WM5] -- CSS Watermark
[WM6] -- Image Metadata Watermarks"
Python requirements:
BeautifulSoup4, Wand (both can be installed via pip or easy_install)
System requirements:
ImageMagick (used by Wand)
