FairUse4WM Breaks Windows DRM

An anonymous reader writes "FairUse4WM, according to engadget, "can be used to strip Windows Media DRM 10 and 11". What does the slashdot community think of this development in the ongoing cat-and-mouse game going on between big media and what is available online?"

    I think the industry should start wondering who the cat really is.
    That's jumping the gun, a little bit.

    First they need to figure out if it's dead or alive, and whether it should be treated as both.

    Then when they are cetain that the cat is alive|dead, they need to figure out where they are.

    trying to educate the future business leaders of America...

    Hahahahaha! Now I know you're trolling! "Educating" the "future business leaders of America" indeed.

    You don't "educate" business leaders - you throw them in a tank full o' sharks & promote the survivors.

  5. Better analogy by sjonke · · Score: 4, Funny

    The analogy I prefer is that the pro-DRM argument is a lot like the anti-gun-control argument. They're both wrong.
