- toomuchtodo 11y agoTechnical difficulty of stripping the DRM? FairPlay was easy enough, I'm sure this wouldn't be much harder.
- eridius 11y agoIf you're going to intentionally commit copyright infringement, it's probably easier[1] to just pirate the music than it is to download it from Apple and strip the DRM, especially because downloading it from Apple requires having a paid Apple Music subscription. [1] Note: I do not in any way condone music piracy. I'm just pointing out that it's more practical than stripping DRM. But really the best thing to do here is to just pay for your music.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoI was merely questioning it from a technical perspective. I don't much care either way. People want digital content for free, publishers continue to rape the idea of works entering the public domain in a reasonable amount of time. Its hard to feel bad about either party.
