Microsoft’s DRM cracked
The tech blogosphere was full of articles yesterday about a tool that will break the Windows media DRM, thus allowing users to do whatever they want with those music and other files.
To me the story is not so much about this particular tool, but another indication that DRM and TPM in the grand scheme of things is not that effective. It certainly doesn’t stop anyone illegally duplicating and selling content on a large scale. And it just makes life difficult for the average user who gets frustrated that the content they buy won’t work on some of their devices.
