Damb So DRM HAS Been KRACKED???

The Windows Media Player DRM crack called "Freeme" strips off the piece from the WMA or WMV file that prevents copying the file. This is extremely bad news for Microsoft, because they had some deals going with movie studios and record labels in order to get Windows Media Player used as a standard in digital media distribution online.

Microsoft's DRM2 software does allow copy-protection upgrades, so files that were previously locked with WMP technology can be unlocked, and then re-locked. New files can also contain these new copy-protections, but still these locks will eventually be cracked as well.
