Microsoft loses ground in the DRM war (for now)

The backwards and forwards battle to keep protection on music took a turn against Microsoft with the news that the Digital Rights Management it produces has been cracked again.

Call my defeatist but I've always felt that complete protection against piracy is nigh on impossible (not that I agree with piracy, artists deserve to get paid), so I'm not overly surprised or disappointed. The balance is sure to swing the other way in a few days with Microsoft likely to release another update.
