This is really interesting to me, how easy is it to remove drm? How reliable? Just lookin for some convo, not arguing as I don’t really know much about cracking games, movies etc
Generally DRM removal tools are written by hackers dedicated to hacking DRM or pirating software. So for people who specialize in that field, they are very good at it and can defeat basically any DRM system.
For an end user, that means all you need to do is to download the specific tools for your use application, run it and presto the DRM has been removed.
An analogy would be you buy a product that is locked inside a box. You can learn how to pick locks yourself, or you can take it to a locksmith and have them remove it for you, which is trivial because that’s all they do.
If you are expecting a bunch of Lemmy users to explain to you in ELI5 terms the technical underpinnings of how a lock works and how to defeat one, well lol that ain’t going to happen.
Yes I am aware that hackers are the ones who crack and make tools and then sell to users.
Thanks anyway, shouldn’t be that hard to explain if it’s trivial to do
Should also know pretty easily how reliable the technique is if it’s done so often, I’d let the original person I was talking to reply instead of interjecting your smart ass response.
This is the Internet. You can’t say ass here!!!1
