Remove DRM from WMV

How do I remove DRM from a .wmv file?

I have recently purchased a movie and I downloaded it to my PC. The movie is a great movie and my sister asked if I could put it on her mp3 player. The thing is, I know from the website that the movie will have DRM. Can I remove the DRM?

I mean I purchased the movie legally. I really don’t think DRM was meant for consumers like me. I already know how to convert the file type and transfer it to her mp3 player, I just don’t know how to remove the DRM from the file. I have heard of many programs, but I have no idea which one to use. Has anybody used any of the programs and if so which is the best?
