article published on 25 August, 2006
A fairly new application called FairUse4WM has been generating buzz lately as it can single handedly and quite easily strip the DRM placed on Windows Media content for WM 10 and 11.
DRM encryption, as we all know is placed on certain files that prohibits its use on other devices and/or sharing the media file amongst others. Up until now, several applications have come and gone claiming ... [ read the full article ]

Any one else try this yet? Are you getting it to work? I tried it on a song and I am still getting a message that it's still encrypted and can't be converted?

Works as described. Just signed up for Napster To Go free trial, downloaded a whole bunch of songs, used this program, transferred to Sansa 2Gb without Napster's software(sync). Good stuff!

Boys Oh Boys! This is WAY COOL NEWS!!!
Maybe ol' Willy Gates should temporarily hold off on his Early Retirement plans. :-)
Looks like it might be time for MS to come up with a Noo-&-"Improoved" WMP Ver. 13 or 13-B, or 14-Beta 6.0.6.2.4a alpha or something else equally foolish. (Big bizzness never seems to learn that DRM is an ultimate waste of time).
Of course, Microsoft will indeed be scrambling now to offset this newest crack. But in the meantime, I think I'll just download a couple of those 30-day-only .wma restricted-license thingees to see how this new thing works! (Strictly for "educational purposes" you understand).
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!! :-)
(No, just kidding). I would never download a crack like this, <ahem> because I are a perfect law-abiding Angel. (And handsome too). ;-)

This is a quote from a memeber at Bitsoup.org by the name of -LPDad-
Quote:
This works like a charm...(I tried it out a few days ago..just to see if it works).....Just a heads up for all of you:
In order to work you must have at least one DRM enabled file on your computer for which you have the "Key"... This proggy then looks at that valid key, and then uses the info to decrypt the other DRM enabled files for which you do NOT have the key...or for which you want to Un-DRM.
The easiest thing to do is to go to a DRM site and download a SAMPLE (for which they supply the key) then you can use that with FairUse4WM).
Follow the links in the INFO or google for the DRM-enabled sample.
Once you have a valid key then the program works like a charm.
ADDENDUM: You can Download a SAMPLE of a DRM-enabled file at www.EZDRM.com
Just pick a sample, download it, open Windows Media player and it will tell you that you need a license. Let MediaPlayer get the free license then you are in business. FairUse4WM will then use this to decode the other DRM files.
Of Note: This DOES NOT WORK on WindowsDRM-9 files. It WILL WORK on WindowsDRM-10 and DRM-11 files.
QUOTE: So far as the yet very quiet forums are claiming, a new app called FairUse4WM can be used to strip Windows Media DRM 10 and 11 (i.e. PlaysForSure, but not WM DRM 9).
Have fun.
Just thought I would pass this info on.

So how does this work for wmv files with DRM on them? I have a movie file on my computer now that I can watch because I have the license but how do I strip it using this program? I don't get where to locate the key.
