MS DRM

First of all, this is a challenge and not for piracy at all.

Say you have a MS DRM WMV file that has an expiration date.
You do not know where the license is and making simple copies of it
also expire.

This WMV contains 4 streams: 1-audio 2 and 3 unknown and 4-video

I'm guessing these 2 unknown streams are padding or security.

What can you do?

Extracting, if successful, can lead to one video stream and one audio stream which of course
will not be in sync.

How can you find the key?
It has to be on the machine because you do not need the internet to view the file.
The file is saved on the machine as 4XXmb

Copying the file copies the DRM as well.
Header in the file contains "device conformance templates","MS SDK Need 0.00"............

What do you guys think?

BustaBust,

You may not post on our forums about ways to circumvent any intellectual property rights. Doing so again may be reason to lock your account.

To put this in perspective, you have no idea how many members we have with email addresses @microsoft.com, adobe.com, symantec.com, etc. What should we tell any of them when their piracy departments subpoena all of our records about your identity and posting history on our forums?
