[MPlayer-users] Digital rights management?

[Pigeon]

	In fact, I didn't really mean cracking DRM. (Although I think a lot
of people would appreciate the idea ;).

	Just that, there are some online pay video/tv on demand sites
that use DRM. Currently I have to boot into windows to watch them.

	I have almost no idea how DRM works with those wmvs file, so it's a
real PITA to do it under linux.
