Hey, I got no problem with ApeintheShell's response -- the original poster posed a very "pointed" question, and ApeintheShell's answer was just as pointed. No harm, no foul.

And, as ApeintheShell pointed out, "screen recording" is nothing new. Screen recording a DRM'ed movie won't get you the same quality as the original recording -- just as burning iTMS tracks to a CD and re-importing or using Audacity to record the streams won't get you the same quality as the original DRM'ed MP4.

We've always been able to circumvent DRM on videos and audio files... nothing new here. It's just that the "legal" ways to circumvent DRM always produce lower-quality copies of the original material instead of producing a bit-for-bit copy of the original material, which is what Apple is trying to protect against.
