The only tool that removes Apple's iBooks Fairplay DRM that is Requiem by Brahms version 3.3 or later. Requiem is NOT included in this tools package. It is under active development because Apple constantly updates its DRM scheme to stop Requiem from working.

Requiem has a Tor website: http://tag3ulp55xczs3pn.onion. To reach the site using Tor, you will need to install Tor (http://www.torproject.org). If you're willing to sacrifice your anonymity, you can use the regular web with tor2web. Just go to http://tag3ulp55xczs3pn.tor2web.com.

Calibre Users (Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux)
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|

If you are a calibre user, the quickest and easiest way, especially on Windows, to remove DRM from your ebooks is to install each of the plugins in the Calibre_Plugins folder, following the instructions and configuration directions provided in each plugin's ReadMe file.
|
||||
|

Once installed and configured, you can simply add a DRM book to calibre and the DeDRMed version will be imported into the calibre database. Note that DRM removal ONLY occurs on import. If you have already imported DRM books you'll need to remove them from calibre and re-import them.

There are a number of other python based tools that have graphical user interfaces to make them easy to use. To use any of these tools, you need to have Python 2.5, 2.6, or 2.7 for 32 bits installed on your machine as well as a matching PyCrypto or OpenSSL for some tools.
|
||||
|
||||
On Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6 and 10.7), your systems already have the proper Python and OpenSSL installed. So nothing need be done, you can already run these tools by double-clicking on the .pyw python scripts.

Users of Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, need to download and install the "32-bit Mac Installer disk Image (2.7.X) for OS X 10.3 and later from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/

|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, you need to install a 32 bit version of Python (even on Windows 64) plus a matching 32 bit version of PyCrypto *OR* OpenSSL. We ***strongly*** recommend the free community edition of ActiveState's Active Python version. See the end of this document for details.
