Microsoft knows it's fighting a losing battle - that's part of why this is so funny!
From Wired News:
The latest version of the FairUse4M program, which can crack Microsoft's digital rights management system for Windows Media audio and video files, was published online late Friday. In the past year, Microsoft plugged holes exploited by two earlier versions of the program and filed a federal lawsuit against its anonymous authors. Microsoft dropped the lawsuit after failing to identify them.That's right, someone at Microsoft realized it might not be a great idea to sue people you couldn't identify - even if you won, it wouldn't be much of a deterrent.
I wonder, however, if Microsoft's lawyers weren't still just a bit disappointed they couldn't try anyways.
