Anyone know of cheaper ways to strip DRM off of videos? Personally, I don't ever buy digital versions—I either stream or buy a physical disc (for this exact reason).

Dear LifeHacker, I greatly appreciate these videos, instructions, and how-tos you post regularly, but most of all I appreciate your perseverance and courage to keep posting these in light of all the negative feedback you get from idiots in the comments.

Which is obviously beneficial: the more we know about security and how it can be beat, the better we can protect ourselves from actual malicious attackers. I know you guys get a lot of flak for these posts, as does any website that decides to make posts like this, and I want to personally reinforce that this is a good thing you are doing and should continue to do it.

Don't blame LH just because this scares you. Secruity is a deterent, nothing more. Anonymity Online. How to Crack a Wi-Fi Password.
