A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you download it and crack the DRM you own that file, at least
Which in some jurisdictions is also illegal. So I might as well skip the "payment" part then.
Are there good DRM removal tools for iTunes? Googling for it gives the expected result, ie. pages and pages of scammy bullshit that I really don't have the energy to sort through
A good DRM removal tool would be to purchase the media wherever you like to feel morally good. After that you torrent the media so you can actually own a copy.
Oh yeah that's what I generally do, I just have a few movies that I can't find as eg torrents (although I haven't exactly done all that much looking beyond a couple public trackers)
