R.I.P. PlayForSure.
It took a while, but those there is apparently now a tool to strip Windows Media DRM (not that I’d be able to verify, being a mac bigot and all) – those monthly subscriptions from Yahoo and Napster are suddenly looking mighty attractive! I wonder will they have to suspend distribution for a while (someone think of the media!)
Microsoft are very quiet on the whole affair, probably hoping that Big Media do not notice while they try patch up this almightly mess. Meanwhile, expect a critical software update to install itself on your machine soon to seek out and update all the poor vunerable wma files on your machine, in the name of fair use of course.
I guess that’s the thing with these content protection genies, once they get of the bottle it is damn hard to get them back in.
