subscribe to our feed.**Previously, on the hack channel** Remember kiddos about FairUse4WM and QTFairUse? They are DRM hacks for Windows Media and iTunes that I posted about last year. It’s the cat and mouse game here. FairUse writers post their hack on the forums. iTunes and Windows Media post a patch to their software to combat the hack. FairUse writers then post another hack to break the latest DRM patch. And on and on we go. Well, the latest buzz has been around a way to break NetFlix Windows Media wrapped DRM movies posted on the Rorta forums.
The hack uses FairUse4WM and Mirakagi to break the DRM. The basic gist is to grab the URL of the movie link for the format that you want. Then you use Mirakagi to grab the movie stream and start the key grabbing process for the license. Then you move over to FairUse4WM and you’re off and running. So, why would someone want to do this? Good question. It’s about use and ownership of digital data. The belief is that once you pay for something, you should be able to use that in the manner you see fit. You can see Dizzie’s tutorial here. Be forewarned that there is some harsher language in there, if that type of stuff offends you.
