What is DRM? Are you trapped by iTunes DRM lock?
Digital rights management (hereinafter abbreviated as DRM) is a systematic method for digital media copyright protection. Apple applies DRM technology to Apple Music and iTunes videos. Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized redistribution of digital media content and restrict users from copying and sharing. As more and more digital piracy occurs on the Internet, Apple believes that this will ensure the interests of copyright owners. However, some users advocate removing DRM from iTunes digital content, otherwise it will damage customer rights. In any case, if you want to use iTunes media files for commercial or profit after you get rid of DRM lock, you are forbidden, and even worse, you may get into lawsuits.
It is legal if you want to remove DRM and use digital content for personal use. So, here, we will list Top 5 reasons to Remove DRM and the best tools to remove DRM from iTunes movies and Apple Music. If you are looking for ways to get Apple Music free forever or keep iTunes rentals forever, don’t miss it.
Be the real master
As long as DRM exists for a day, you can never be the master of digital media. Like Apple Music, DRM restrictions make you never own downloaded Apple Music songs. One day you canceled Apple Music, and all downloads will be lost after the subscription expires. All iTunes videos are protected by Apple FairPlay DRM. Imagine rented iTunes movies have been deleted without your permission even if you haven’t finished watching them. After removing DRM, you can actually own the file.
Break iTunes rental restrictions
All iTunes videos are protected by Apple FairPlay DRM and can only be viewed on authorized computers and Apple devices, such as Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch running iOS 3.1.3 or later.. Unlike iTunes purchases, iTunes rental movies cannot be synchronized with other iOS devices, and you can only have iTunes rentals on one device at a time. All rental movies and TV shows can only be saved for 30 days, and once you start playing iTunes rental movies, you need to complete watching within 24 hours (in the United States) / 48 hours (in other regions), otherwise they will be deleted. After removing DRM from iTunes movies, you can keep iTunes rental movies forever.
Remove device restrictions
iTunes digital content can only be viewed on Apple authorized devices? In a way it is. Even if you have purchased iTunes movies, you cannot open and play them on Google, HTC, Motorola, Samsun, Sony, LG, Blackberry, Lumia, Huawei Mate 30/20. Everything will change when you remove DRM. You can play iTunes audio and video files on any device.
Remove media player restrictions
iTunes DRM also restricts you from playing music or movies on other media players. Under DRM protection, you can never watch them on media players such as PSP, Android TV, Xbox, PS4, Chromecast, Xbox, Amazon Kindle Fire, Nook, Kobo, VLC, Realplayer, Windows Media Player, etc. But this trouble is about to disappear after getting rid of DRM.
Enjoy iTunes Movies and Apple Music Freely
