+This file used to contain code to remove the Readium LCP DRM
+from eBooks. Unfortunately, Readium has issued a DMCA takedown
+request, so I was forced to remove that code:
+
+https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2022/01/2022-01-04-readium.md
+
+This file now just returns an error message when asked to remove LCP DRM.
+For more information, see this issue:
