Could we be a little more specific? What's RIAA - are your referring to Macrovision in DVDs? - If so DVDshrink and DVDdecryptor are the ones to use - they are out there, they take some tracking down as the legal boys have been getting *very* heavy with the authors, so there's no more upgrades (not that they are needed!) - one tends to find them on Finnish sites (they don't break Finnish Laws!). Get back if you can't find them. Or do you mean DRM in MS terms - that's much harder to break - so for music files, just burn an *audio* CD, then rip the files off the disc back as unprotected MP3s (Standard Red Book CDs cannot be protected, so making a true audio CD has to remove the protection.) All the above apply to XP or earlier. Vista is *much* more DRM orientated (which is why I'm not buying it!)
