From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No as you can not bypass DRM. DRM is designed to block your control of your machine.
Seriously, DRM is the problem. There's no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.
Yeah. And even the corporations aren't benefiting. The best Pirates crack that stuff quickly, and the rest of us (not me, obviously, I'm no pirate) just leach off the best Pirates. People trying to give them money are hurt.
