Getting Past Apple's DRM Restriction on Hackintosh!

Okay before I start this will involve you to have a REAL mac handy. Okay so what I found out is that iTunes Download Agent cannot be altered -- meaning that there is no "technical" way to download DRM Movies/TV Shows and play them from your hackintosh. So now we got that out of the way lets start!

1. First of all you will need this app called TunesKit for Mac, It does cost some $ but it removes the DRM protection from the videos.
(Now side note: If you do use TunesKit on the actual hackintosh itself it will not work, it will simply just give a black screen.)
2. After you have the application you can transfer the video files to your USB, and plug in the Removable device.

There you go your iTunes Movies will now play on Non Apple Monitors, Machines, etc.
Hope this helped, this method worked for me and I hope it works for you all.

I'm sorry for not reaching to you guys sooner, but it has been a fiasco trying to crack the drm protection; Suprisingly enough I may have got a lead. My rig is running High Sierra 10.13.2 (updating it to 13.3 caused photos to crash when clicking on a photo, so I downgraded) When trying to downgrade iTunes to 12.6.2 -- instead of 12.7.1 for obvious reassons. I came across something strange, the drm crack worked! I sadly lost it because of not being able to log back into iTunes/App Store after the downgrade, I'm posting this now to see if anyone can figure this out? Or if someone has already figured it out by now... The commet below the original sort-of worked, it allowed me to play rented/ trailers but not any of my purchased movies.

The downgrade proccess I used is listed below:

"1st, you will need the 12.6.2 copy of ~/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl from TM (or whatever) backup. If you won't replace the library, 12.6.2 will say it's been created by higher version of iTunes and will not start.

If you have such a copy, open Terminal and paste following* (assuming you successfully disabled System Integrity Protection from recovery Terminal by csrutil disable – otherwise it may not work).

Code:
rm -rf /Library/Documentation/Applications/iTunes/Acknowledgements.rtf /Library/Documentation/iPod/Acknowledgements.rtf /Library/Frameworks/iTunesLibrary.framework/ /Applications/iTunes.app/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iTunesAccess.framework/ /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.fpsd.plist /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreFP.framework/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreADI.framework/ /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.adid.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/UAUPlugins/ADIUserAccountUpdater.bundle/ /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/MobileDevices.bundle/ /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.usbmuxd.plist /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AirTrafficHost.framework/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/ /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUsbEthernetHost
After doing that you must replace the iTumes library file from backup and just reinstall 12.6.2 downloaded from Apple iTunes support page."
