Zune DRM Stripper
Found on Zune Scene on Saturday, 14 July 2007
These days it's hard to keep digital media locked up in any format. Our Zune ears recently heard tell of a program that strips DRM off of tracks purchased from the Zune Marketplace, or traded via Wi-Fi. What makes this more significant is the optional Zune subscription which allows users to download almost all the Zune Marketplace.
We decided to download and test the Zune DRM stripper for ourselves to see if it actually works. In fact, it was so effective that we have decided not to publish any links to it. Of course these things will get out regardless.
Another proof that DRM is designed to fail. It should be very easy to get your hands on the software, considering that one of the screenshots shows FairUse4Wm and mirakagi.exe; the additional hint that this binary does the decryption should make it clear what to search for. Plus, the three (looks like search engine spammers haven't picked that one up yet) returned results are not too confusing, considering that one of those leads to Doom9, where the files are mirrored at several sharing sites.
