Fairuse4wm and QTFairUse 6 : Windows DRM cracked !!! It's a pirate's world !

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....
