Microsoft looking for DRM Crackers

When will Microsoft ever learn ? If you come out with crappy software and sell it for a crazy price, there's bound to be unhappy users and crackers around. Just looks at great open source software like Firefox, nobody wants to hack it.wmp.jpg

Sure, it will be ages before Microsoft can find the FairUse4WM crackers and sue them. That's good news for services that want to host those DRM-laid Windows Media 10 and 11 files.

Techdigest scoops this up

Microsoft said that the defendants have gone to substantial lengths to hide their identities (well duh!) but experts say that in the long term it won't really hurt Microsoft or any of the legitimate download services that rely on the DRM. Content providers know that no DRM is unbreakable.
