If the DRM is preventing someone from doing that then it is within their rights to remove the DRM. Recall that not everyone lives in a country subject to the draconian DMCA law.
Who is “we”?

Please tell me you’re not vibe coding this project.
I will describe how it works and the ethics of such a tool.
Where in this post do you describe the ethics of such a tool?
non-technical users believe that their votes are private, which is far from the truth. This attitude could potentially lead to harassment of Lemmings (yes, that’s what we Lemmy users call ourselves) for upvoting a particular post. Lemvotes makes it clear that votes are not private, which could help bring a more accurate picture of the way votes work on Lemmy to its users.
This is what needs discussion. It is this tool which will lead to harassment due to the way someone votes. And the threat or spectre of harassment will lead to the Chilling Effect, ie. self-censorship (of voting) to avoid harassment.
The chilling effect this causes will make communities even more like echo-chambers, as dissent will be pre-emptively squashed.
Without a tool like this existing, people have to go out of their way to find out this information (setting up their own instance, or finding someone who already does this surreptitiously). By making such a tool available to the lemmy community at large, you make it extremely easy for anyone to do this, and so the chance of harassment occurring is much higher.
You might think you’re being clever, or on some kind of crusade to educate the uneducated. But actually your actions are making this (community-built) platform worse. Compare your actions to releasing a 0-day exploit for a security vulnerability instead of responsibly disclosing. It doesn’t help, it just causes chaos until the people who do the actual work can figure out a solution.
Think about how your tool existing now changes the dynamic of Lemmy as a whole. Is it better, or worse? How would you actually solve this problem in Lemmy, instead of exploiting it?

Same for me, it was Red Hat Linux 6.1 (Cartman). I got it from a CD on the front of a PC magazine.
drspod@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽♂️281·7 days agoFor a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:
“Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.
She’s mocking the people who replied to her.
