You cannot simultaneously crow "hurr, DRM is broken!" and act all smug about this discovery. Perhaps the original developer, like you, understood this, and did the absolute bare minimum necessary to fulfil commercial obligations, all the while making it easier for people like himself (i.e. you) to get what they want, and making a few bucks from the old and dying media industry all at the same time.
Given the evidence (complex integration with a non-standard set of open source libs, complex industry area in general), I'd say it's almost certainly an insult to imagine the developer could not have made your life harder if he'd chosen to.
Please, if anything commend the dear fellow, and shame on whoever considered a momentary glimpse of Google Plus limelight worth making this guy's Tuesday morning and ongoing professional reputation much harder earned than it otherwise might have been.
