The programs that un-DRM stuff need to use the encryption key that can only be extracted from a device that "owns" the media to be decrypted. As ixtab said, brute-forcing a decryption key is not a realistic objective unless the encryption was badly broken to begin with (which is what Dmitry Skylarov was detained for, as mentioned above).

So realistically, only the OWNER of encrypted media (or "licensee" depending on how you look at it) can decrypt DRMed media (for their own personal use). Distributing that decrypted media to others would be morally decadent and/or illegal.
