Unlocking protected AAC from iTunes?

[amateurmacfreak]

You know how if you buy stuff off iTunes in AAC it won't let you convert into the unprotected AAC? I was wondering if there is a better way to work around that than burning a disk and importing it back onto the comp.
Thanks! And sorry if this is sort of a shady thing to do....

This talk isn't allowed on MR... but google it. There's a program that strips the DRM off of protected AAC files.
