One of the objectives of my master thesis, applied to a real case study, is the protection of confidential or valuable content using Digital Rights Management (DRM) techniques. I would like to start my research by doing a survey among expert and professionals in the IT sector. As part of this work, I have developed a questionnaire whose purpose is collecting feedback in order to come up with an objective assessment of the market where such software for protecting digital assets could be deployed. If you would be so kind to help me in doing my thesis, I will be happy to share with you the results of the survey by sending you the final report (which will be anonymous and respectful of your privacy). You can find the questionnaire online at the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Hqd7dR8baumIgsg_2fpmjLQA_3d_3d Thank you very much in advance for your kind help and your time. Best regards, Elena Dear all,

I use iMovie HD.app (not the current version which is iMovie.app). 1. Open a new iMovie project and put a short, short vid clip in the timeline, trim it down if needed to, say, 1 second. You won't record it but iMovie looks for one. You might want to strip the audio; click Advanced>Extract Audio. Then highlight the audio track on the timeline and delete it. 2. Now put your .m4p song right after the vid clip on the timeline. Then export this to Quicktime, save as a .mov file. You can close iMovie HD now. 3. Open the saved .mov file in MPEG Streamclip.app (google that). Position the playhead where the video clip ends and the audio clip starts then click Edit>Select In to put an in marker on that spot. 4. Now click File>Export to Audio and just follow the prompts. Choose .aiff file for least compression/data loss. You don’t need to burn a CD.

However, it can only be used to remove DRM from iTunes "Songs". And it is a waste of CD discs if you have lots of songs ready to be burnt. I'd like recommend checking out this tutorial about how to remove DRM from iTunes M4P M4V M4B: http://www.softdiggs.com/howto/remove-drm-from-itunes-m4p-m4v.php This method is great!

It's like mp3 -> wav -> CD -> wav -> mp3 isn't ? Probably difference would be hard to tell.. but stil :) Wouldn’t that degrade quality. It’s like mp3 -> wav -> CD -> wav -> mp3 isn’t ?
