DRM can be cracked easily - if you have a license. Its an encrypted format, so if you have the right software and the license, you can convert it to a good old fashioned .mp3 as easily as you can play it. Ive never been able to locate the software to do it though, then again I've never actualy bought a DRMed track to convert, so I've not looked that hard.
But, converting the file without a license requires you to brute force the encryption, and for that, were talking months or even years for most home systems. The only practical fix at this point would be P2P networks or similar. Youve paid for the music, the fact that the music company is violating fair use on you, is not your fault. So you will wind up uploading the files while you download them .. so what? If the music industry would learn not to screw its customers over, that wouldn't have happened.
