Who said anything about DRM? I was talking about avoiding any ammuntion M$
mitght find to ues = avoit the whole issue and let the end-user take the
responsibility of using WMV/WMF formats on a system M$ woudl prefer didn't
exist. As far as DRM is concerned it doesn't me squat in any place outside
of the U.S. It's was passed by U.S. legislators and is only enforcable in a
U.S. Court.
Cheers, Curtis
