I'd be willing to finance someone to download a couple of tracks on my 
behalf,
but I don't think I'd be willing to just send them out onto the net.  
OTOH, the EULA
does allow me to 'back up' the files to 2 other computers, so I might be 
prepared to
'back up' a file or 2 to someone's computer, just for safekeeping, of 
course. ;-)

I expect so.  Maybe the cracker groups, like lockless or someone, could 
help.

Huh? I thought it was a fair comment, and I'm only trying to play some 
lousy wma
files, not doing something difficult, like getting a DVD to play on my 
233MHz box.
(Definitely time for an upgrade.)
