"Net Music the Danish way: Locked down and easily cracked. By: Kurt Westh Nielsen, Ingeniøren, Copenhagen, Denmark on: 29/10/04 [06:41 UTC]. Abstract: The ambitious Danish project Netmusik, which intends to make music available online for users of public Danish Libraries was launched September on 1st, 2004. However a week after the launch it was discovered, that the Digital Rights Management system could easily be circumvented. ..."
This strikes me as funny -- everyone knows that the windows DRM can be circumvented by using standard stream ripping and transcoding devices such as Total Recorder or Replay Music (or even Window's own recorder!!!) - as the signal travels through the PC's datapath it is simply intercepted at the driver level, and re-routed to a digital recording device. For a demonstration of how this works (and how that process can be thwarted) check out Media Rights Technologies, one of my clients (disclosure...:), from the homepage just click on PRODUCT DEMO. Windows Media DRM is useful but total copy protection it is not!
