Microsoft hunting FairUse4WM creator
Posted by Jason Eaton in "ARTICLE" @ 07:00 AM
"Like Maggie Simpson's Unibrow Baby, the creator of FairUse4WM is Microsoft's nemesis. FairUse4WM strips files formerly protected with Microsoft's PlaysForSure DRM into unprotected and freely usable, shareable and (possibly most threatening to Microsoft and its PlaysForSure partners) allows you to keep subscription downloads working well after you've unsubscribed from a service such as Yahoo! Music or Napster. The Unibrow Baby anonymous reverse engineer known as "viodentia" is Microsoft's target in several John Doe suits recently filed and Microsoft is seeking ex parte subpoenas that would unmask the DMCA bandit."
If you didn't see this one coming, you're stupid. Maybe it is the sense of anonymity the web provides or an ego so filled with the feeling of superiority for writing the code that maybe he thinks he will not be caught. Boycotting against DRM is one thing, stealing is something else all together.
