Hackers target MS

Hackers have once again broken into Microsoft’s digital rights management system aimed at protecting copyrighted material including music. The FairUse4M programme available online will help hackers to ‘drag and drop’ protected music files, turn them into MP3s and play and share them at will. Earlier versions of the same programmes had caused much heartburn to MS and it had plugged loopholes in its DRM system to combat the menace. But music industry watchers say that DRM will be out of vogue soon since hackers will always find a way.
