DRM or Digital Rights Management was untill now a pain in the a** of all the pirates.Some time back DRM hack for Windows Media Player 10 and 11 was launched, called FairUse4WM. Here’s the deal about DRM. most people don’t mind paying for music. They understand that artists put a lot of work into their trade. Just like we put a lot of work into ours. But, DRM limits how they can utilize their purchased music. This really ticks some people off. Hence, people are now vigorously pursuing cracking DRM to get the message across.
You can find the download for FairUse4WM here. Let me just say this. You can strip all DRM rights for WM 10 & 11 with this. I honestly don’t condone this. If you paid for it, however, it’s up to your conscience.
Well, as typically happens, this DRM hack release was followed by QTFairUse6, an iTunes 6.0.4 to 6.0.5 DRM hack. You can download QTFairUse6 here. This is a port of QTFairUse from a while ago. It’s not as easy to use as FairUse4WM, but it does the job.
All this points us to one big question...
What approach should the companies take towards this issue? If they make it paid.. any ways people are going to find ways to crack em.. and if they make it free.. how the hell are they going to make a profit and if they don't how come are they going to come up with new things that you will crack :) ? Its a cycle and not the least....

Fairuse4wm and QTFairUse 6 : Windows DRM cracked !!! It's a pirate's world !
Hack an ELEVATOR :With just two fingers !!!
Well the tech world is going crazy these days..and this hack proves it again.
How many times have you been in an elevator (digital) during rush hours and it god damn stops at every floor if any one pushes the button.
So your life is one big hell if you have to come down from the 10th floor at rush hours....
But don't worry cause we here at 'keedaguru' are constantly looking at hacks to make life simple.
And this ones just for that.
Purpose : After this hack , the elevator wont stop at any floor even if people press the call button at every floor...and you will reach to your chosen floor without any stop i.e. the EXPRESS WAY !!!
The Hack : OK so the hack... once you get in.. just hold the 'DOOR CLOSE' and the 'FLOOR' button at the same time.And you are in an 'EXPRESS MODE' unless the installers of the elevators were wise enough to turn off this feature so that you will require a 'key', but it sure is worth a try !!!
The DEATH Hack : This hack is not meant to be tried out but this is what hacking means... exploring knowledge, going to the 'deep' side of anything...
NOTE: With this hack you can actually kill a person.. and I am not responsible in any way for any thing done by you or any one for that matter if you follow these steps and end up in trouble or whatsoever.
If you press CLOSE DOOR and EMERGENCY together, you force the doors to close.It is great to use when some jerk holds the elevator by throwing his leg or arm across a closing elevator door.The drawback is getting blood splattered on yourself after the elevator chops of the guys limbs !!!
Elevators that have been tested and tried on:
Otis Elevators (All But The Ones Made In 1992),
Dover (Model Numbers: EL546 And ELOD862),
And Most Desert Elevators (All, But Model Numbers ELD5433 And ELF3655)

Make a Windows LIVE CD using Bart PE : Use Windows without installing it !!!
So today we are going to look at a technology which is fast gripping the world.
As you might have guessed..yes we are going to discuss about LIVE CDs
Simply put...say you use an Operating system (XP,Vista,Linux...) however you have to install these OS on your hard disk before using them..And suppose you don't like them you will have to format the disk...
Now LIVE CDs come into the picture as they let you enjoy the features of an operating system but you do not need to install any files !!!! Yes... just boot from a LIVE CD and within 3 minutes your Operating System is up and running...and when you are tired of it..just eject the CD.
The concept is that LIVE CDs load all the necessary information into the RAM. An analogous example... LIVE CDs are like 'TEST DRIVES' ..you drive the car for some time and walk out the next moment without buying it.... however our OSes are like buying a car...you have to pay for it before driving.
LIVE CDs give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.But they are no ways a replacement for a full fledged OS.
- The files from your Windows Installation CD-Rom.
Supported Windows versions are:- Windows XP Home Edition (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher)
- Windows XP Professional (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher)
- Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
- Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Download the latest version of Bart's PE builder from here.
- CD/DVD writer if you want to create a bootable CD/DVD.
This will help you create your very first BartPE CD. It assumes that you are using Windows XP.
- Make sure that your system has about 500MB of free disk space!
- Download the latest PE Builder version (self-installing package) and install it.
- Start PE Builder (pebuilder.exe). When you start PE Builder for the first time it will ask if you agree with the license agreement.
- Now PE Builder will ask to search for windows installation files. If you don't have your windows XP setup/installation files on your system you must insert the original Microsoft Windows XP installation/setup CD at this point.
The files you have at c:\windows are not installation files. They are your already installed files!
Click "yes" to start searching. PE Builder will now search all fixed- and CD-Rom drives for Windows installation files. This will take some time. When more than one valid location is found, a dialog will appear where you can select which location you want to use. - At the main PE Builder dialog, select the "Burn to CD/DVD" option. When you are using an erasable medium, make sure that the "AutoErase RW" option is enabled. The "burn using" option should be set to "StarBurn". Select your CD writer device from the Device list.
- Hit the "build" button. PE Builder will now ask you to create a BartPE directory, answer with "yes".
- The license for your Microsoft Windows XP product is shown. Read it and agree to it to continue.
- PE Builder will now start building BartPE. This will take a few minutes.
You will see a lot of files getting copied and/or decompressed, the ISO image build and the data recorded to your CD/DVD writer.
If the data verify was correct and there where no errors reported you can boot the CD/DVD!
THE PE BUILDER SCREEN
McAfee VIRUS SCAN GUI IN THE LIVE CDIf you have any problems or questions about PE Builder here is where you can get more information:
- Make sure you have the latest version, goto http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and check.
- Take special notice of the FAQ page.
- Browse the CD forum. Read/search the "Windows PE" and "PE Builder" forum and if you problem is not listed, become a "member" so you can post a question in the "PE Builder" forum.
- If your problem/question is still not solved/answered you can contact the author. Please keep in mind, that the PE Builder program is put together in my "spare" time. That time is very limited as I also work 40 hours a week. If you have build problem, please include a "verbose" logfile. Please zip it before sending.
Microsoft does not provide support for PE Builder or for the preinstallation environment created by PE Builder.
So have fun making your own customized Windows LIVE CD.
Next post will be 'How to make an Automated Windows Installation CD' so that you don't need to be at the desk and when you come back after a tea break....Windows is up and running !!!
So the next time you save some minutes with this hack.. do remember to spread the word of the keeda guru !!!
