from the doc: 'removes content protection from any Windows Media Audio file wma file) that uses DRM version 2 (as implemented in Windows Media Player version 7 It has been tested under Windows 98, so may or may not work with other Media Player/OS combinations. Also be aware that many protected content files out there are actually DRM version 1, especially if they are older files. This software will not do anything to unprotect version 1 files. There is another piece of software, called unfuck , which similarly removes protections, but there is a fundamental difference in how these two pieces of software work. Unfuck works by allowing the player to unprotect and uncompress the audio, and then captures the audio samples on the way to the sound card. This software attacks the problem directly: it simply removes the encryption from the protected file, leaving everything else exactly the same. Because of this, there is no loss of quality due to uncompressing and re-compressing the content what you're left with is exactly the original content, just not protected. It's also much faster. Please be aware that this software is proof- -concept or demonstration level, not production level. While every effort has been made to make sure that it works properly, it may fail in unforeseen situations it has NOT been thoroughly tested! There isn't much chance that this program will screw up your system, but use at your own risk! WARNING I have just learned that the new Microsoft Media Player EULA includes a clause that says they can *automatically* modify the software on your system, without any confirmation from you required! In other words, they can disable your software, or force an upgrade so that FreeMe won't work, just because they feel like it. Be careful out there!'
