I am stuck and I really hope that someone would be kind enough to point me to a good tutorial or download links for most effective apps and srcripts for removing DRM protection.

First install Python and PyCrypto.
See http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2010...-and-pycrypto/ After that running the required scripts isn't difficult any more. |

I don't think so. A little bit of self work for newbies is expected - you can't drive a car without some background information and it's the same with the scripts . So if you have specific questions like (python crypto gives the following error message, ...) it surely is okay to ask but not if you haven't read the information available. It's a little bit rude to ask other people to do all your work. Last edited by joblack; 03-01-2010 at 01:11 PM. |

Python scripts are text files. If you save it as .pyw (on Mac OS X also .py is OK) then you can execute it by double clicking.

Is it just me, or does that not work. When I rename the file to xxxx.pyw it is still called xxxx.pyw.txt when I check its properties. I know I am doing something stupid, but what is it please?

You have disabled 'showing file extensions' in Windows (check Explorer Options) so it always attaches a .txt.

It's not you doing something stupid. It is the typical Windows stupidity.

I like a logical simple system but Mac OS X (and partly Windows 7) is simple on the surface but if you want to do something deeper you're lost in the obfuscation. That's perhaps the main reason I'm working with Linux. There you've got transparency and you know if something got wrong it was probably your fault . Anyway, enough offtopic discussion.
