"Microsoft has touted its Windows Media Player (or WMP) as an industy- and DRM-friendly app that supports so-called "protected" media files."

That's true. DRM has never been implemented as anything but a half-assed way to help people protect their media. We should be used to MS making serious mistakes like this now - escpecially when it comes to security - as they've made them in the past!

Well written article, thanks for the good links
