We managed to identify three different methods that proved to be effective in removing Apple’s DRM. How are they supposed to watch iTunes content on non-Apple devices? Well, the only option is to strip the video of it’s DRM. I can vouch that most users that buy video content from iTunes are not pirates. After paying a full price for the content you bought from iTunes, you should be entitled to play it on whatever platform you want. But regardless of their reasons, you can’t help but notice that this is extremely unfair for the honest consumer. Unofficially, they do this to keep their sale numbers high and make users remain loyal in their Apple ecosystem. Now, Apple says that the DRM restrictions are enforced solely to discourage piracy and ensure that only the user who brought it can play it. Everything you purchase from the iTunes (music, books, movies, TV shows, etc) will be DRM protected.

Unlike other companies that have a more subtle approach on DRM restrictions, Apple isn’t shy with locking down all content present on iTunes. All media content bought from iTunes is locked down by Fairplay (Apple’s DRM scheme). It’s a questionable technique that some vendors (especially Apple) use to restrict the platforms in which the media purchased from them can be used. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management.
