I would like to point out that the use of such programs to remove copy protection is illegal in many countries and the only legal way to divest a program of copy protection is to burn it to a CD then reimport the CD as this is permitted in the copyright limitations of the originally protected tracks.

Another way is to harass sites to only sell unrestricted music (itunes plus) amazon et al and only buy such songs...

... or you could just upgrade your music library to iTunes+.

Strips off the copy protection, gives you an additional 128kbps audio resolution, and is 100% legal everywhere.

Somewhere around $40-50 for my iTunes purchased library (which was admittedly fairly small considering I prefer to rip my own stuff from CDs).

OTOH, it's easy as pie and doesn't involve any extra software, or migrating data to CDs (real or virtual) and going through two additional lossy conversions.

Why do people who haven't used the software insist on commenting? GO TO THE SITE AND READ THE INFORMATION. All this software does is burn the tracks to a virtual CD and reimport them. The quality will be lower than the original, but it saves you the bother of using an actual CD-R. If you want to get REALLY illegal, try Requiem. It's now broken with the latest version of iTunes, but I suppose if you haven't upgraded from 8.0 it would still work. It just strips out the DRM, leaving a full-quality copy in its week. Of course, that method still leaves in hidden data so that if you start distributing it far and wide, the information on who bought the track is still embedded within it and you could get caught. But then again, those who are really hell-bent on doing that probably know how to strip out that data. This is all really academic anyway because protected AAC files will soon be obsolete--that still isn't a license to give a copy to all your friends though.

Typo - toxdoc

Oops, I meant "leaves a full-quality copy in its WAKE"
