Okay, just throwing good money after bad here. After not being able to read the iTunes version, bought the Google edition. Good news is, I can at least read it now. Bad news is, after downloading, none of the video content is available offline, meaning, the video content is all in the cloud, and I can't watch it on a plane even though I now own two copies of it!

I've about had it with this fucking DRM shit! Go FUCK yourself Apple, Google, Amazon, B&N. Fuck you!

The good news on that is even if it is stored in the cloud, a motivated enough person with enough knowledge should be able to get the video file in the same way people are able to download videos from Youtube. Any time you stream a video, it's stored somewhere on your hard drive as a temp file. Find the temp file and you find the video. Doesn't help much with being able to see it on a plane (unless you get the videos and keep them on your tablet), but for things like fan edits, that might be an option.

 

I should note i have no actual technical knowledge of how to go about this, just a conceptual understanding of how and why it should be possible.

 

Edit: And then I see not only are people working on it, but clips are already up on youtube. That's what I get for not reading the pages that have been written since I last checked out this thread.
