Requiem 1 8 2 iTunes DRM Remover (Windows compatible with iTunes

Go here for Requiem 1.8.6 -> http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4775230 - Changes since last version - * Requiem can now decrypt on Windows for iTunes 8.0.1 :) Requiem is an open source program that will strip the DRM from your iTunes music and video files. While people have found other ways around the DRM, such as burning their music and ripping it, that will lose sound quality. That's where this program comes in - it not only removes the DRM from music AND videos, it does so losslessly. Just double click on the Requiem.jar file and the GUI will come up. (However, for Mac users, I would recommend the RequiemDroplet.app because of the Drag & Drop feature.) - Requirements - * iTunes 8 or iTunes 8.0.1 (does not work with iTunes 8.0.2) * Quicktime 7.5.5 * You'll need to install Java (http://www.java.com/getjava/) if you want to use the the Java GUI that is included that can be used on both Windows and Mac platforms. DISCLAIMER * Backup your protected purchases (or make absolutely sure your content is successful by manually listening/watching the content). * Do not expect Requiem to decrypt video rentals. This was only intended for purchases, but even if you attempted to, don't expect it to work. ================================================================================= Three last notes to end on: 1. Any thanks should be attributed to Brahms, the creator of Requiem. 2. Do NOT share your de-DRM'd iTunes purchases on a file-sharing network. Why? Apple has personal information in your purchased content. Requiem does not remove the personal information from your files. Your identity is at stake and Apple could ban your account (at the very least) if caught. (I, OompahLoompah108, have no control of this feature in Requiem, I am just the uploader, not the developer.) 3. Please obey the Golden Rule of File-Sharing, "Share with others, as you would want others to share with you." Okay, I made up that quote - but please, share as long as you can, even a week is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers! :)

Mac user here. Requiem fails to decrypt and reports this error:
"ERROR: can't open file /Users/Shared/SC Info/SC Info.sidb"
The file in question does actually exist on my computer, so I don't know what's wrong.

@enjourni,
* Is your computer authorized?
If not, it needs to be authorized
* Do you have iTunes 8.0.2?
If so, I can't help you because Apple broke Requiem in that version.
If these pointers have not helped you go post your questions here:

but before doing so, make sure you read the "Read Before Posting" because the moderators there will give you a hard time for asking a question that has already been answered.

Before upgrading iTunes, make sure you keep a backup of your SC Info directory, which contains the iTunes decryption keys. When you need to decrypt a file, you can restore a copy of that directory.
The SC Info directory can be found on Mac in:
/Users/Shared/
(The actual directory is hidden, it won't show by default in Finder. Use Terminal)
And on Windows, I believe it's in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
If you're a more advanced computer user, you may like to try following these instructions which can make everything more convenient:

I don't understand why apple is doing this. They already offer drm free tracks. Plus the account name is still kept in decrypted files. Should be completely legal. I hope brahms comes up with a solution to 8.0.2 soon so i can decrypt the rest of my songs.
