I have recently purchased a movie and I downloaded it to my PC. The movie is a great movie and my sister asked if I could put it on her mp3 player. The thing is, I know from the website that the movie will have DRM. Can I remove the DRM? I mean I purchased the movie legally. I really don’t think DRM was meant for consumers like me.

Has this problem frustrated you too? If so, just follow the step by step guide below to learn how to remove DRM from purchased WMA WMV files so that you can play them on iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, BlackBerry, Creative Zen, burn them to DVD discs, etc.
