Please note that I'm asking how to remove Silverlight DRM powered by PlayReady (not Windows Media DRM):

Silverlight DRM, Powered by PlayReady is a content encryption technology designed and optimized to enable key Silverlight online content distribution scenarios including live streaming, on-demand streaming, progressive download, and adaptive streaming (e.g., IIS7 Smooth Streaming). Unlike simple stream or link encryption technologies (e.g., Adobe’s RTMP/e), Silverlight DRM, encrypts the video and audio in a secure wrapper ensuring content, including advertising, stays protected from server to Silverlight plug-in until it is decompressed during playback.

Silverlight DRM is a small, cross-platform version of the PlayReady client used exclusively by the Silverlight Web browser plug-in. Analogous to other online content services, a Silverlight service that offers protected content uses the PlayReady Server SDK (or alternatively, the WM Rights Manager 10.1 SDK) to first package (encrypt) the Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) content. When a consumer then wants to play that content a license is requested and obtained from a license acquisition server that uses the PlayReady Server SDK.

The Silverlight plug-in includes an individualized PlayReady client acquired from an online service, hosted by Microsoft. Individualization binds the run-time client to the computer on which the client was initially installed. Every end-user is given an individualized Playready component and different certified license keys. This significantly reduces the danger of global breaks. If a specific version of a PlayReady client becomes compromised, it can be barred from acquiring licenses for new digital media files unless the latest version of the PlayReady client is downloaded that is robust against the circumvention.
