Suppose you have several pirates in different markets with different accounts that all buy the ebook and diff those. If done once, it's really hard to narrow it down to any one of them. If they keep using different accounts for future purchases and add their own alterations to the pirated copy (to confuse the detector), it makes them practically impossible to trace.

Fedora 14 here with OSS ATI drivers
Chromium works fine; Firefox 4b7 works (slow~ish, after updating extensions), Firefox 4b8 (JS preview build) doesn't work

FTFA: "Cryptologist Ron 'The R in RSA' Rivest withdrew his MD6 process - it was highly-rated but conspicuously sluggish"

Someone simply misread or misunderstood "sluggish" for "too fast"
