DRM, short for Digital Rights Management, has been a controversial method of defending copyright in digital media, to say the least. DRM usually takes the form of bugs implanted in music or movies you buy digitally that do things like lock them to one device, prevent them from being played outside of two or three designated players, or sometimes require an Internet connection to function. People often feel as if they're being led on a leash, or being sold half a product which the corporation can take away at any time, even though they've paid for it.

Witcher 3 developers CD Projekt Red feels the same way, and believes the best way to prevent piracy is to please your customers so much they want to pay for your product. Hence the subtle jab at DRM hidden within Witcher 3's world....

The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.

DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether.

Projekt Red is currently giving purchasers of Witcher 3 16 DLC packs for free, one per week for the next 15 weeks. What nice guys they are.
