WMP9 without DRM

DutchMaster · May 27th, 2003, 10:37 AM

I'm looking for windows media player 9 download, the one without DRM (digital rights managment).
A link was posted 2 months ago or so on this board. However I can't find it anymore.

Does anybody know where I can download it?

whats the advantage of having DRM removed? Less security as far as manipulating copyrighted material?

Did you get it to work DM? I downloaded it but WinAce tells me that every single file can not be extracted correctly.

I've downloaded both the win2k and winXP version. Both extracted without a problem. Are you using a downloadmanager or so? Its better to download with a singleconnection. Takes more time, but worth it.
BTW I've used winRAR for the extraction.

No download managers. I guess the problem was with WinAce. winRAR had no problem extracting the files.
Thanks

Pulled several from the site, none of 'em will extract with Ace, RAR or WinZip.
