For economic reasons since Microsoft’s DRM is used by music online stores, they’ve patched a bug in their DRM system ASAP and no one was the wiser….except the crackers that came out with the FairUse4WM already have a patch to patch big blue’s patch. Haha. This is the start of a very bad patch war….may the best prevail.

Last week, a hacker developed FairUse4WM to strips the copy protection from Windows Media DRM 10 and 11 files. If it were a Windows problem, it might have waited until the next monthly patch Tuesday to be fixed, at the earliest. However, since this one will cause ructions with the music business, Microsoft has apparently made it a priority to issue a new patch straight away.
