Consider this though- the purpose of DRM is to prevent privacy (or at least that's what they tell us.) However, the DRM on the iTunes songs can be removed just by burning the file to a disc and then reripping it. Net piracy prevented: 0. So, although the copies are not the same quality as the DRMed originals, the content itself can still be redistributed.

My point is that you don't necessarily need to perform amazing feats of cryptographic skill in order to be able to pirate this stuff.
