Crack and Remove Windows Media Video (WMV/ASF) and Audio (WMA) DRM License Acquistion in WMP Player with FairUse4WM 1.3 Fix-2 and Mirakagi
Users who purchased digital media such as songs, musics, videos and etc from online stores or contents providers such as AOL MusicNow, Directsong, FYE, Musicmatch Jukebox, Napster, PassAlong, MTV URGE, Wal-Mart Music Downloads, Ruckus Network, Yahoo Music and Real Rhapsody, or iTunes shop, may have to deal with license or media usage rights acquisition for the media and live with the restriction to the free and fair usage of the contents, as most digital media sold by these networks are copy-protected and tightly controlled its access by Microsoft PlayForSure or other DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Fortunately nothing is perfect. Hackers have since released FairUse4WM to crack and remove the DRM of the protected Windows Media contents. FairUse4WM is a free DRM removal utility that strips copy-protection from Windows Media video (.WMV, .ASF) and audio, song or music (.WMA) files downloaded from PlayForSure-compatible or DRM-enabled sites, including protected contents from Microsoft Zune Marketplace. With DRM component removed, the DRM-free media can be copied, shared, distributed and ported to other devices for playback without any limitations, including easily convert into MP3 files that able to play on most if not all digital media player. You can even rip the protected streaming video or audio media contents.
FairUse 4 WM has released an updated version - FairUse4WM 1.3 Fix-2 - that supports and works on Windows XP and Vista with Windows Media Player (WMP) 9, 10 and 11 version up to 11.0.6000.6324. The FairUse4WM 1.3Fix-2, released by Divine Tao on doom9 forum, also comes a tool named mirakagi which uncovers the individual keys from Microsoft’s DRM blackbox components (IBX), up to version 11.0.6000.6324, and then enter the IBX keys into the FairUse4WM blackbox-keys.txt text file.

- Unpack and extract the zip file.
- Play the DRM protected content, and acquire whatever licenses or media usage rights required to play the media. FairUse4WM only authorize fair use of media, not piracy. Note that you must also individualize your system WMP first.

Saludos, comunidad, tengo un caso extraño con un disco de música en especial.
Sucede que hace 4 años atras grabe un disco que no puedo encontrar en internet y no puedo mandar a pedir en la disquera. (Cosa que se me hace imposible de que teniendo internet no exista el archivo para descargarlo y en la disquera no puedan pedirlo por X circunstancias).
Este disco justamente quiero escucharlo pero creo que fue tantas veces que formate la computadora que aun tiene la tarjeta madre de 1998 que el disco lo vengo arrastrando desde entonces perdido entre mis carpetas de antaño.
Lo que sucede es que ahora que quiero escucharlo (después de buscarlo como loco en mi ordenador) ahora ya no me deja escucharlo porque me pide licencia y todos tenemos problemas con eso. Lo curioso de todo esto, es que dice la pagina donde descargo la licencia, que ya no la puedo descargar porque ya fue descargada 10 veces.
Ahora que encuentro este programa con todo y tutorial para poder solucionar el problema me acabo de dar cuenta que nisiquiera tengo la mentada licencia en mi ordenador y como ya no me deja descargarla, ya no hay licencia que el programa pueda hackear para poder liberarme de esta mala jugada del Bill Gates.
Intente abrirlo en otros reproductores como el del Nero, Winamp, iTunes, Musimacht entre otros incluyendo convertidores de audio, de wma a mp3 y nisiquiera ningun programa me permite reproducirlos para volverlos a grabar a la antiguita.
Mi sistema operativo es Windows Xp Profesional Edition en original, y nisiquiera descargando actualizaciones me deja poder escuchar estos archivos que llevo siglos almacenando y NO QUIERO BORRAR, porque ni para quemar el disco en uno de audio me deja, o en montar una imagen .ISO.
Por favor, hay alguien quien tenga una respuesta una luz de esperanza para mi preciada música del pasado que trato de rescatar? ¿Un byte de esperanza? ¿Algo? Ayudenme por favor.
Gracias por su atención.
P.D.: El disco que tengo si esta en internet pero no tengo dinero para poder encargarlo desde Europa, de ser solo esta mi solución, estare frito hasta que tenga un trabajo descente donde tenga ingresos continuos.

What if I get this message?:
Mirakagi starts, code version 0.9

Would it have anything to do with the fact that I’m running WMP 11.0.6000.6344 on Vista? And is there any way around it?

DRM cannot be removed, if at all, then it isn’t a cracking software for the licenses purchased…
