While I much prefer to be the one getting in trouble rather than policing others, I'm not so sure these forums are the appropriate place to be discussing DRM removal. In practice it is no different than breaking disc copyright protections that we discuss constantly, but I'm not so sure Hollywood sees it that way right now. They are presently going through the "tantrum phase" that the music industry went through a decade ago.
Here is a followup (and in my opinion more relevant) question not directed at anyone in particular. Why would anybody ever, ever buy any media of any kind that contains DRM?
My advice: Either own it or rent it. DRM is an inevitable fuck-the-consumer-in-the-ass in between option that is utterly ridiculous. This is the product the studios present to us and then they wonder why sales are down and piracy is up.
Case in point: I regret to say that I do have some old DRM itunes songs that I bought way back when itunes music store first started. Over the years between then and now, I have had numerous issues I had to coordinate with tech support because of rights management due to multiple devices, new computers, etc. Now I want to put my music online with google music, but of course I can't with those songs. I also want to switch from itunes to a different media library manager, but... well, you know how the story ends. Badly.
Care to speculate what the world and technology will look like in another 20 years and how that DRM stuff you bought now will be working out for ya?
