How to Remove DRM From Rhapsody in Vista
DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a codec, which is a line of code that is embedded into an audio or video file and is used to prevent digital piracy. DRM limits the applications that will play an audio or video file and prevents the files from being burnt to a disc, shared with friends, or synced to an MP3 player. While DRM can be removed, you should never remove the DRM codec from a file of which you are not the copyright owner.
