target, but Microsoft's WMV9 video format. There is as always a working 
Proof of Concept program with screenshots."

I don't condone stealing or breaking laws, but I can admit to having a good 
laugh at Microsofts expense. As far as I know, and I know very little about 
windows, the WMV9 codec is the highly touted video compression algo that 
Microsoft is trying like hell to jam down our throats in future DVD's, 
streams, etc. 

It's their mainstream product, implementing their brand of DRM and it's been 
broken/cracked already... 

DRM, what a crock!
