Slashdot | Microsoft Windows Media Player Encryption Hacked

Slashdot | Microsoft Windows Media Player Encryption Hacked: "Here we go again. The Register has the story about the encryption in Windows Media Player being hacked by DVD Jon. From the article: 'Jon Lech Johansen has reverse engineered a proprietary algorithm, which is used to wrap Media Player NSC files and ostensibly protect them from hackers sniffing for the media's source IP address, port or stream format. He has also made a decoder available.' This has been pending for some time now. Do you see a reason to install Windows/WMP just to be able to view a webcast?'"
