Heh, well I'm only suggesting this because I figure that with 
Mplayer for example supporting the WMF format, and it probably 
ignoring DRM information (and if not we'll patch it :-)), anyone 
can still do whatever they want in terms of fair use. Ofcourse I'm 
not sure, I haven't tried either creating such a WMF file nor 
playing it with Mplayer. I'm just using plain ogg for my CDs :-).

Cheers,

Lourens
