With the advancement of technology, we can now enjoy more movies and music at TV, smart phone, tablet, etc. at home, without going to the cinema. These digital contents have made our lives more interesting and entertaining. But, it's not easy to access and play them on any device you like, as most resources have been encrypted by the Digital Rights Management (DRM).

On one hand, this encryption protects its content from being copied. On the other hand, it also prevents all digital media from being played on or transferred among unauthorized devices, even if users have paid for them. This is most evident in iTunes Store, a leader in the sale of the online digital files. Yet, all hope is not lost, as there are many tools that can remove the DRM protection, so that you can play these media in a host of devices, or share them everywhere freely.
