Matthias sez, "This script package takes an Apple-DRM-protected song (.m4p), and converts it *using iMovieHD* into an unprotected .mp3 file. I've tried this with six songs now and it works great, though you have to be careful to not actually, like, do anything else with your computer while it's running as it tends to make the script throw up and die. So you might want to run it overnight if you've got a lot of protected files to free from your Apple shackles. Does this mean Apple will be forced to file a DMCA C&D against the publishers of iMovie?" I've done this with regular iMovie before and it worked pretty well.
The holy grail of Apple DRM for me is opening up the audiobooks. These files cost a fortune, can't be easily burned and re-ripped (and some even come flagged as "non-burnable" — showing that there are crippleware modes in iTunes that aren't widely known). Cracking them through the analog hole using Audio Hijack is time-consuming (I spent six weeks this year running two PowerBooks 24/7 to convert all my iTunes audiobooks to MP3s using this method).
(Thanks, Matthias!)
