Apprentice Alf's Blog does such a good job with the the practical aspects of DRM removal that there is little need to discuss them here. It is ok to discuss DRM in general, e.g. how stupid the entire idea is etcetera. One of the better discussions here is Xenophon (and many others) in
DRM: What did you buy? (An Essay.)
