"Jon Lech Johansen (aka DVD Jon – the guy who cracked DVD's DeCSS encryption) is up to his tricks again. Today's target: Window Media NSC protected video streams. Cisco describes NSC as an encryption technology used to protect IP-based media streams from being sniffed for its IP address, port, and stream format. NSC is typically used by pay for download media services which use Windows Media Player as its front-end."



Gee what a surprise. There isn't a DRM that can't be cracked (at least the consumer quality ones). Microsoft will make a changes and then its back to cracking it again. If companies would be less restrictive, we wouldn't be having this problem, but know they won't listen to me. :roll:
