Removing digital rights management (DRM) from purchased iTunes movies involves circumventing technological protections designed to restrict usage. This typically allows the movie files to be played on non-Apple devices or software, or backed up without limitations imposed by the DRM. For example, this could enable playback on a smart TV, Android device, or media server that doesn’t natively support iTunes protected content.

Historically, DRM solutions have limited interoperability between platforms and sometimes even rendered content inaccessible due to changes in software or hardware.
