After months of eager anticipation, it looks like either Viodentia (now as Doom9 forum user Divine Tao) has released the latest version of FairUse4WM, v1.3 Fix 2 (download).

This post introduces a new tool for uncovering the individual keys from Microsoft's DRM blackbox components ("IBX"), up to version 11.0.6000.6324. Lacking the source code to the extant programs, I can only offer this output of my own efforts.

To actualize fair use rights with the new IBX, first run 'mirakagi' which will enter the IBX keys into the FairUse4WM blackbox-keys.txt text file. Next, you should use the attached version of FairUse4WM, 1.3Fix-2. This includes an important fix for a video corruption bug, often seen in scenes affording high compression. If problems occur, please provide the program text. IBX versions after 11.0.6000.6324 are not currently supported. This version should be capable of interfacing with both Windows Vista and Zune software versions.

I haven't tried it yet, but people say it works fine. Let me know whether you got a sweet taste of DRM freedom without having to continue using XP and Windows Media Player 10 with that subscription music service.
