Remove DRM Protection from any Audio/Video File

Media files are often encrypted to prevent copying and unfair usage, this is made possible using Digital Rights Management. Often, these DRM things become irritation for users due to various restrictions like Device binding, Playback, copying, etc.

In this article, you’ll learn how to make any media DRM free and use it without restrictions like any other file. Not illegally by hacking the DRM encryption technology but making a video or audio DRM free which you already posses legally.

How they Work

None of the DRM removal tools actually remove DRM from original media file but just record the content and create new file. These recording is often faster than traditional recording process which is a result of increased playback speed.

Prerequisite: You have to have legal license of the DRM protected file you wish to convert.

I tried some popular DRM removal tools developed for media files only and decided to write about Aimersoft DRM media converter. Not only, it strips or removes DRM protection from most media files but also convert them to make compatible with your device.

Using Aimersoft DRM Media Converter

Interface is very straightforward of this tool. Single window gives all essential options along with the preview window.

Just click on “Add” button and select the DRM protected file you wish to convert or remove DRM from. Depending on the type whether Audio or Video file, you can customize the output format. As I said above, it is possible to convert media file to make it compatible for playing on any device.

Compatible with almost all popular protected files like FLAC, WMV, M4A, AA, AAX, M4P, M4B, etc.

I tested it with a sample DRM video file which required pay 0.5$ to get license for limited number of playbacks.

On clicking “Start” button to begin conversion process, you will be asked for username/password to play the file. Video will be previewed and within minutes, DRM free media file is created in specified output directory.

Time taken to finish the conversion process depends on the length of playback. You can always check on ‘Shutdown PC when finished’ if you don’t to wait and keep staring at windows.

Aimersoft DRM Media Converter is a powerful tool which saves the effort of downloading or entering license details again and again by removing DRM easily. Protected media content downloaded from iTunes, Kindle store, etc can be played on any device after conversion without any restrictions.

 

Conclusion

Aimersoft DRM Media Converter is a powerful tool which saves the effort of downloading or entering license details again and again by removing DRM easily. Protected media content downloaded from iTunes, Kindle store, etc can be played on any device after conversion without any restrictions.

IS Home PC Won't Hacked ?

Nowadays, home PCs hold a myriad of personal files and information that most people wouldn’t be comfortable sharing. Search history, emails, instant messages, bank usernames and passwords, tax details and a host of other sensitive data can now be found on your home PC – and without adequate protection from cybercrime, this information could fall into the wrong hands.
Identity thieves and hackers target home computers because they know families often do not maintain adequate security protection on their PCs. This makes these family users easy, lucrative marks. Many hackers access your personal information in order to steal your money and your identity. Others might want to use your home computer as a shield to mask their identity as they steal from others.

Many hackers access your personal information in order to steal your money and your identity. Others might want to use your home computer as a shield to mask their identity as they steal from others.

But it won’t happen to me!
Identity theft is more common than you think – and the advent of the Internet has simplified the process for would-be thieves. It’s estimated that a quarter of all cases of identity theft originate on the Internet. More specifically, according to the Internet Fraud Complaint Centre, email and web pages dominate the fraud methodology, and the vast majority of victims actually have email contact with the perpetrator.
How can identity theft occur?
Anyone can fall victim to identity theft. Here’s how:

• Accessing the Internet from an unsecured PC—Without a security layer between your computer and the Internet, you invite hackers to steal your identity, destroy your files, or use your PC to attack others

• Obtaining potentially unwanted programs like spyware or adware on your PC—Malicious software programs may monitor your keystrokes, track your Internet logins, transmit your confidential information, or redirect your browser to fake web sites

• Sending personal information over the Internet—Hackers can easily retrieve sensitive data that is sent over an unsecured Internet connection

• Downloading files from friends and family or accepting unknown emails—You can obtain a virus, worm, or Trojan simply by accepting files from your friends, family, or others

• Not recognizing phishing scams or spam— Ever received a dodgy looking email claiming you’ve won big? All you have to do is send over your bank account details… Phishing scams use fraudulent emails and web sites to lure unsuspecting users into revealing private account or login information.

• Leaving your wireless network unsecured—Since your wireless network’s radio waves travel through walls, a hacker with a simple antenna could attack you from miles away to steal your information or to launch attacks from your PC

How you can fight identity theft
Common sense dictates some very obvious measures to protect yourself, your family and your computer. Make sure to set up parental controls to keep the kids from accidentally clicking on untrusted ads and websites. This includes not downloading files or clicking on hyperlinks sent by strangers, avoid storing financial information on your computer and using a secure browser.
Over-sharing on social media has desensitised our notion of online privacy, and it can be very easy to fall into complacency when sharing your personal information online. There are a number of ways that hackers can compromise your home PC and access information, most of which can be avoided with adequate security protection and a little online vigilance.
