To put it specifically, FairPlay DRM protection restricts iTunes users to use purchased movies and TV episodes on Apple's software and devices only other than non-Apple digital media players. Worse still, for users who rent movies from iTunes Store, they only get 30 days to watch the films and 24 hours (in US) or 48 hours (in other countries) to finish watching once started.

The majority of FairPlay-encrypted videos, also known as M4V files, are regular MP4 container files with an encrypted AAC audio stream. To decrypt the FairPlay encryption from those video files, a master key is needed. Each time a customer uses iTunes to buy or rent movies, he will get a random user key to unlock the master key firstly.
