Digital Content

Cory Doctorow describes this problem pretty bluntly as: “If you can’t open it, you don’t own it.”

What You’re Buying When You Buy Digital Content

How Do I Get Rid of the DRM on My Ebooks and Video?

Just as a quick primer here, we should note what exactly it is you’re purchasing when you buy digital content, and why this problem exists in the first place. When you purchase digital content, you’re typically just buying a license to use it. You do not “own” the books or media you purchase in traditional terms. For example, here’sAmazon’s Terms of Use (bolding ours):P

Upon your download of Kindle Content and payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes), the Content Provider grants you a non-exclusive right to view, use, and display such Kindle Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Kindle or a Reading Application or as otherwise permitted as part of the Service, solely on the number of Kindles or Supported Devices specified in the Kindle Store, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider.P

Most Terms of Use at other digital stores follow Amazon here, and they all also have something similar to this little caveat:P

In addition, you may not bypass, modify, defeat, or circumvent security features that protect the Kindle Content.P

So, just so you know: removing DRM from ebooks and videos is typically against the Terms of Use. Most services like Amazon or Barnes and Noble allow you to store your books or video purchases in the cloud so you can download them again later. But they’re always restricted to their apps.
