You can't. DRM is a copyright protection mechanism, and removing it would be against the terms and conditions of sale to you.
And even if you could, we would not help you to do that.
We do not condone, support, or assist in the production of malicious code in any way, form, or manner. This is a professional site for professional developers.

If you want to know how to do such things, you need to visit a hacking site: but be sure to disable all firewalls and antivirus products first or they won't trust you enough to tell you.

You don't know one thing. Because this is used for kids. not copy for several users.
The movies purchased from iTunes Store will be used for only one user.
Please don't make a hasty generalization.
Thanks.

I'm not generalising from your question that you are stealing anything: a video with DRM has conditions, and removing the DRM violates those conditions regardless of why you are doing it. We don't assist with that kind of thing!

I found the code and it runs correctly. Thanks for your help. But if you can't help anything, please don't suggest anything. This is not gentle.

Copyright violation isn't "gentle" either: and as I said, this is a site for professional developers. That means that most of use in one way or another make money from producing software, or writing about producing software - and if people evade the protection on what we produce then potentially we don't get paid!
Hence we don't get involved in that in any way.

You are really garrulous. Please shut down. I rather to say to you "Thanks for your help.".

Lucas, Lucas, Lucas.

Mate, do yourself a favour and look at the profile page of both yourself and of Griff.
Yours says you've been a member since Fri 1 Jul 2016 and have a reputation of some 308 points. (300 of which are an 'opening-balance')
Grifs says he's been a member since Wed 15 April 2009 and has a reputation of some 1,587,757 points.

Need I continue?

Yes. I need.

Sure.

Well, unless you've been a lurker, whose period of contact with the site is unknown, you're the brand-new kid on the block. That doesn't mean anything more in this context than that you've had less time than all others to absorb the culture of the site, to understand the expectations of its members and to understand that someone like Griff doesn't accumulate all those points for posting worthless rubbish.

Griff has attained the reputation he has, because it's been given to him by the other contributing members. That in itself would tend to indicate to most people that what he says is quite likely to be deemed as reasonable by the membership at large.

Certainly, I'll be the first to agree that the tone of Griff's initial comment was rather condescending. A decade sees the same kinds of questions asked with fair regularity.

Again, if you'd been a longer-term member, you'd have had an inkling of how such a question appears identical to so, so many others just like it. You'd have understood how likely it was to be lumped in the same basket as all the rest and would even have had a notion of the tone of the response you'd get. As a precaution, you'd have included the detail from a later comment that articulated the fact that the vids are paid for. But still, anyone that's been here for more than a moment would understand that _even then_ CodeProject is not the site to visit when asking for means to circumvent software-protection schemes - no matter what the reason. I could name handfuls of them, but again - CP is not the place to discuss such matters. I used to visit one site that had protection-schemes for breaking like the newspaper has crosswords for solving. But I digress.

I'm not excusing the tone of Griffs initial response to you - I think it was both understandable and fairly poor. Some will interpret the last sentence as a joke, others will read an unnecessary smart-ass comment.

I understand you didn't take it as a joke and apparently strived from that point onwards to express your discontent. That was probably unnecessary too. Though, it has resulted in this exchange.

Perhaps you're laughing at me shaking your head, perhaps you're thinking that you'd not considered those points of view before.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
