I have found a DRM Removal tool named M4VGear for me to remove DRM from iTunes videos so that I can watch them on my Android phone. To be frank, I have tried this program and found it was gorgeous. The speed is very fast, the quality is lossless. The subtitle and audio are kept. But I am afraid of the legality of using software like this. Could someone give me an answer?

Yes, you can use the application to unlock video files that you've purchased. The files can be used for your own purpose. Any other purpose, except personal usage, is considered illegal. You can use the application with only your video files. However, there are video tools with the capability to play DRM files because of the features implemented. Unlock the videos, then transfer them to your phone, but make sure to avoid sharing them.

Thank you for your reply. I will go and buy it. And per your suggestion, I will not share them with others or on the Internet.

It should be legal if you just use it for yourself and won't share the converted files on website. M4VGear is the best ripper i have that supports many formats and conversion speed is amazing even the clarity is great.

If you're personal use purpose, it's legally. If you are looking for a program to remove DRM from Apple Music or Audible audiobook, here I can recommend you a professional DRM Audio Converter, which can help you remove DRM from Apple Music and Audible with converting them to MP3.

For personal user only, you can use such DRM removal tool legally. But you're not allowed to use it to unlock a variety movies for making money. I also once used TunesKit M4V Converter to download my purchased iTunes movies for playing on my Andorid smartphone. It worked great for me!
