Is there any way to get rid of a 'protection' off an MP3?

That's DRM for ya.
I've posted about 1000 blog and forum entries b***h about DRM and how it's so stupid and all, so I won't do it here again.
Suffice to say that Apple, Microsoft, Intel and the music/movie industry are pushing hard for DRM adoption across the board. Soon all the media you PAID FOR, and therefore you OWN, will be like that.
Incidentally, you paid for that song but according to the music idustry you don't own the file - it's theirs!
Cool huh?

hang on, what? copy protection? that's NOT an mp3 mate... you're looking at some iTunes AAC or Microsoft WMA B.S. there
always if possible get them transcoded first out to a CD-audio and then into mp3 at the earliest opportunity
CDs - at least those burnt with current software and drives - will always be 100% readable 24/7 (so long as you don't scratch 'em!)
I love the record industry and all the crap they pull like this - maybe they're going to re-release it this year and try to pull in more donations? Can't help thinking such an otherwise clever ploy would backfire really, really hard.
