Apparently the world’s computing community is totally flummoxed by wmv DRM.

Though several products both commercial and open source claim to be able to remove DRM, none actually can. They either return an authorization error, which is basically hilarious since we’re removing drm, or they require the key which is equally hilarious.

Basically we’re picking a lock here and one camp says “but I’m not allowed” and the other says “I can pick this lock but I’ll need the key.”

Seriously?

Feel free to prove me wrong in the comments.
