DRM (Digital Rights Management) is responsible for these restrictive options. DRM restricts the many alternatives, in which the files can be reproduced or reused in any way that could possibly end in copyright infringement. Taking steps to avoid piracy is commendable; but it becomes questionable when it hampers the rights of people who have legally purchased the product and are not allowed to use it as they please.

Several techniques have been employed since DRM introduction. Of these methods, the commonly used include the burning and ripping of DRM files to DRM free files. This process too, was not without a predicament. Only file formats that allow CD burning and ripping can be used in this method.

Other ways to contest the issue include the option of obtaining online software programs. These convert protected WMA/ WMV files into DRM free files. A decryption key is needed to convert the files in the required software format. This is automatically detected whereas some programs work only if the files have been purchased online. These software programs disable DRM protection by specifically changing the files' digital mechanism into different formats.

There are many services online that offer audio/ video download as well as operable software that aids in DRM protection removal. The customer should be aware though, that these services are not available for free. These require a subscription fee from the user. These service programs sometimes also offer exclusive free trials to users for a limited time. This is a good option to avail for people who want to convert protected WMA/ WMV files using the software. When the trial date is up, it is the user's choice whether to buy the full subscription or not.

The best way to go about this would be to compare and research different offers and utilize the most suitable one.
