This looks like a battle with the hackers to me  :lol:

Microsoft has said it is working to close a breach of its technology that protects music digital files from copyright infringement.
A program called Fairuse4wm has been posted on the net and is said to be capable of bypassing Microsoft's Digital Rights Management (DRM) system.

It could spell problems for internet music shops, potentially enabling users to download unlimited files.
Microsoft said it hoped to deploy an update to fix the problem soon.

A message on the doom9.org internet forum posted links to an application called Fair Use for Windows Media, now mirrored on other sites, which appears to circumvent this system.
The program apparently strips Windows Media audio (wma) files of Microsoft's DRM 10 or 11 protection, removing any usage restrictions.


Terrible huh folks  :wink:

FairUse4WM 1.1
Publisher's Description:

FairUse4WM will extract the personally identifiable information (description keys) from Media Player for the purpose of allowing the user to improve the interoperability of legitimately acquired media files. At least one file with an active license is necessary.
