Its main purpose is &#8211; obviously &#8211; the conversion of one music format to the other. It does offer several additional features including the ability to extract music from video files and removing DRM from audio files.</p><p>The interface of the program uses a simplistic design. Video and audio files can be added easily by using the Add button in the header of the interface. It is possible to select multiple files at once which are then added all to the queue.</p><p>Each file is listed with its name and duration. Basic playback controls are available at the bottom of the screen to preview files before they are converted.</p><p><span

This offer lets you watch x hours of movies where x is the amount that you pay in dollars for your monthly subscription.</p><p>The movies require a Windows operating system, Internet Explorer 6 or higher and Windows Media Player 11. An experienced user would have already guessed it that there is some sort of DRM involved in this setup and indeed it is. There is no obvious way to download the movies or watch them in your favorite movie player.</p><p>All you need to change this is the drm stripper <a
href="http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127943">fairuse4wm</a> and a text editor according to DIzzIE from the rorta forum.</p><p><span
id="more-1843"></span>Step by Step guide:</p><ul><li>Go to Netflix.com/watchnow and choose a movie to watch</li><li>Click on play, if netflix wants to install the Netflix Movie Installer do that</li><li>WMP should tell you that you do not have the rights to view that movie, hit NO</li><li>Open the source of the website</li><li>Search for &#8216;WNPlaylistMovies&#8217; in that file, the result should begin with ar WNPlaylistMovies =</li><li>There should be several entries each with a different bandwidth, select one.</li><li>Copy the url that starts with ehub and paste it in a blank new text file, e.g. (http://index.ehub.netflix.com/item/?x=sdjkdsjH)</li><li>Create a html link from it, use this template:<code><html><br
/> [block]1[/block]<br
/></html></code> and save it as movie.html</li><li>Now open the html file in your browser and right-click the link and save it. This will download the movie which is usually between 1-2 Gigabytes. It is however still DRM infested.</li><li>Double-click the downloaded file and click Yes when it asks to connect to the website to acquire the license</li><li>Launch FairUse4WM after you clicked Yes and wait until you see that the Play button becomes active in WMP. Click on Recover Keys. It should find some, hit ok and answer the next question with Yes.</li><li>Timing is crucial here. You do get an FairUse4WM error sometimes, just try again then.</li><li>If everything went fine FairUse4WM rips the DRM out of the file and saves a new copy without DRM which you can watch in any video player that you want.</li></ul> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/08/07/download-watch-now-movies-from-netflix/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Remove DRM from your iTunes library</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/01/28/remove-drm-from-your-itunes-library/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/01/28/remove-drm-from-your-itunes-library/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Jan 2007 16:29:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPod]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[apple]]></category> <category><![CDATA[copy-protection]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drm]]></category> <category><![CDATA[itunes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[m4p]]></category> <category><![CDATA[protection]]></category> <category><![CDATA[qt-fair-use]]></category> <category><![CDATA[remove-drm]]></category> <guid

Some users think that this is not the way it should be and even some governments seem to think that the connection between songs purchased in iTunes and the restrictions imposed are not legal in their country.</p><p>Another limitation is the absence of a official linux version of iTunes giving all linux users no legal way of obtaining and playing back protected songs. <a
href="http://hymn-project.org/download.php" title="qt fair use" target="_blank">QT Fair Use</a> is a smart application that removes DRM from songs bought by iTunes leaving the tag of the user who bought it in the file. This makes it useless to try and spread the file on the internet afterwards because it would be to easy to find out which user purchased the songs and got the ball rolling in first place.</p><p><span
id="more-1143"></span> QT Fair Use can process all songs that are currently in the iTunes library at once making it an ideal tool for users that have a lot of songs that they bought from iTunes. A great feature is that the program works on Windows, Macintosh and most Linux distributions making it a highly flexible solution for most users.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/01/28/remove-drm-from-your-itunes-library/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How to remove the DRM from iTunes music</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/12/07/how-to-remove-the-drm-from-itunes-music/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/12/07/how-to-remove-the-drm-from-itunes-music/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2006 22:09:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPod]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[aac]]></category> <category><![CDATA[apple]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drm]]></category> <category><![CDATA[itunes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mp3]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mp4]]></category> <category><![CDATA[music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[myfairtunes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[qtfairuse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[remove-drm]]></category> <guid

One of the biggest disadvantages if iTunes is that the music that you purchase has DRM protection build into them. This protection makes it impossible to play those files on other mp3 players than the ipod for instance. This turns out really bad if you want to buy a new mp3 player which is not manufactured by Apple.</p><p>So, where is the alternative to deleting the files because they are basically useless to you ? You could try some programs that rip the DRM out of the music files to be able to transfer and use the music on your new mp3 player. Please note that using those programs might be illegal in the country where you are living, make sure you know what you are doing before downloading and using them. Not that someone would be able to find out.. The world needs more disclaimers like this, don&#8217;t you think ?<br
/> <span
id="more-982"></span>The first program that is able to remove the DRM is <a
target="_blank" title="qtfairuse" href="http://hymn-project.org/forums/login.php?redirect=viewtopic.php&amp;p=9565&amp;start=0">QTFairUse</a>. It can be downloaded from Rapidshare, the link was published on the forum thread that I linked to. The second tool is <a
target="_blank" title="myfairtunes" href="http://hymn-project.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1555">myFairTunes</a> which does the same and converts the mp4 file to mp3 as well. I do not think that it makes much of a difference which program you will be using. I suggest you download one and if it does everything the way you want it you stick with that.</p><p>I don&#8217;t need them at all because I do not buy music, videos or other media in stores that add DRM to the files or demand a ridiculous amount of money for the media.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/12/07/how-to-remove-the-drm-from-itunes-music/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
