Of course, you're also required to decrypt all the other music files you /do/ have the license to pay. You can't, of course, because to do that you'd have to get round the protection Windows (or whatever) includes that stops you just turning the secure music into an mp3. > Yes, that is how the RIP bill works. Yes, that's how the DMCA works. Yes, I know only one of them is valid here. So far. I just feel like pointing this out. Is 'it's illegal to decrypt this' enough of an excude for RIP? I doubt it.
