Some hackers created a proggie to remove the DRM from audio files called FairUse4WM. Microsoft said that they have designed the IBX, which is the individualized blackbox component to DRM protect audio files, in such a way that allows Microsoft to easily update the component once hacked. So as promised it took Microsoft only 3 days to update the IBX and FairUse4WM was neutralized. It took the hackers another couple of days to work around this new IBX and release FairUse4WM v1.2.
In Belgium we have a saying: "Dweilen met de kraan open".
