Microsoft DRM got pwned.

If you have a valid license for a WMV file, you can strip the copy protection from the file using some program written by a Japanese dude.

I can't provide a link...but google is your friend.

:D

edit: I lied. Here's a link from the respected doom9.org: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89243

And just in case anyone didn't know, you can do the same thing with iTunes music files using JHymn.

Oh yeah, the big part of this is that it works for video files. But I guess it would work for WMA files too.

The proggy apparently works by using a debugger to run Windows Media Player, and monitoring what WMP does. When some encryption key is sent to WMP to decode the file, the debugger steals it and records it. Then, using that key, another program decrypts the WMV to strip the copy protection.

Don't you know its standard for them to treat everyone as if they're a criminal thereby creating "elaborate" and expensive protection schemes and rolling the costs onto the consumers?

So does this mean that when I buy a CD/DVD, other people can't listen/watch it?

If napster a-holes didn't include DRM+had flac audio files, I would use the service but because they don't, I will never use it. I don't want these stupid companies limiting how I use my music so I'm going to tell them to screw off.

When you download DRM content it's copying is restricted. So say you d/l "all the mp3s to fill you portable player" you can crack that content so you can copy it anywhere you want.

DRM is anti-fair use.
