If you're going to be illegal and remove DRM, might as well pirate one of the DRM-removal software... That's just how I feel about it anyway. It's not like they can get mad or anything.

To be honest, I've never had to resort to using DRM-removal software. But I have included a link below that lists a few programs that deal in removing DRM from mp3s.

Yes it is illegal.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act makes it illegal to "circumvent" any type of DRM, which means that it is illegal to remove DRM from any electronic source.

It also makes it illegal to make technology that can be used to circumvent DRM. So I guess, if they tried to sue you for pirating it, you can easily just say "I used it to circumvent DRM. This program is illegal in teh first place."

Well, I have used a free software called FairGame to remove DRM, but it's not ideal, so i try another software, which can legally remove drm protection and convert the files to our devices compatible format, if you are interested it, you can visit here:

There is no such thing as legally removing DRM. It is illegal 100% of the time.

WTF is this shit! I'm no angel, but why is the DRM protection there in the first place??? So if you can truly answer why it's there, you think it's legal to remove it? Again I'm no angel, but I do know why the DRM protection is there, and that any software to remove it, free or not, is illegal... . Like D'UH!
