Download FairUse4WM - strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 9,10,11 WMV,WMA


 
FairUse4WM is a GUI version of drmdbg.
FairUse4WM 1.3 fix-2 supports Windows Media Player 9,10, and WMP 11 Final with version 11.0.6000.6324 and lower.

Precaution
We do not host or provide downloads of FairUse4WM. When downloading software from unknown sources make sure to check your downloads with a reliable antivirus software like Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Kaspersky Internet Security.

Basic requirements:
1. Only works on individualized DRM file
2. Requires Windows Media Player 9, 10 or 11 (doesn't work with WMP 11 with versions higher than 11.0.6000.6324). Works on Windows XP, Vista x32/x64
3. Works with both individualized content and some DRMv1 files
4. Does not work with Win98 or similar.

The program's functioning can be verified by stripping DRM protection from Demo files from ezdrm.com, as well as those from other Microsoft Solution partners.

Limitations
This program is ONLY designed and intended to enable fair-use rights to PURCHASED media.
- While the developer haven't been able to support license expiration/rental detection, please don't use this to abuse rental license
- This code does NOT allow import of KID/SID pairs to preclude its use for piracy

Note that some WM installations will have multiple ECC key-pairs, so you will likely have to "Extract Keys" using multiple licensed files. If you find a file that doesn't convert, try extracting keys wth it. Once your whole set of keys is extracted, you will no longer need to run WM per file.

We've tested FairUse4WM and can confirm that it quickly and easily strip the DRM protection from online music services like Napster and Yahoo! Music Unlimited. fu4wm can strip DRM protection from PlaysForSure media services. And this lossless DRM removing allows you to make your Windows Media files playable after you're no longer paying fees on your music subscription service.
But I repeat again: Please do not abuse rental licenses. Use DRM removal software on LEGALLY purchased files only!

Please learn more about FairUse4WM 1.3.fix-2, downgrading Windows Media Player 11 Final to 11.0.6000.6324 (that is supported by FairUse4WM 1.3fix)

p.s. Please use FairUse4WM to create fair use backups only.

License/Key trouble


 
I recently purchased and downloaded a pack form direct song and want to convert them into an mp3 format, from what I could observe they're one time only license and I checked here after I had already accepted it. When I try to convert any of the songs to DRM free with FairUse4WM it says that they require a different private key. I wasn't sure what that meant so I checked around and found something about ECC key pairs and extracting but I'm not sure about that either, could anyone help?

Re: License/Key trouble


 
If you get this error on a brand new license, then redownload test content from fairuse4wm.com or ezdrm.com. Extract the keys.
If the key extraction fails, THEN please post the IBX version from the dialog box.

Removing DRM from a "one play" license media file with FairUse4WM


 
Let the FairUse4WM use the license instead of Windows Media Player - by acquiring but not playing the file.

1. Set your media player to ALWAYS PROMPT before acquiring a license. You should have this as your common setting anyway, because it will save you from folks using the DRM URL to deliver I.E. exploits.
Quote:
In WMP 10:
1. Click "Tools"->"Options..." and select the "Privacy" tab.
2. In the "Enhanced playback and device experience" group uncheck "Acquire licenses automatically for protected content".
2. Open the file in the Windows Media Player and acquire the license, but DON'T click the Play button!

3. While the dialog is open you should be able to use FairUse4WM on that file. You can also exit your Windows Media Player (Click the Close button) and collect licenses for multiple files.

I wish it were that simple. I already tried that. Dowloaded the file, didn't play it, open in Windows Media PLayer, dialog box comes up, I've tried using Fairuse4wm before agreeing to get the license and after. After agreeing, a Yahoo message comes up saying you can't play the file (you can only play it in the Yahoo music player).

I've yet to see anyone post that they successfully removed DRM from a Yahoo subscription file, NOT a purchased file. I don't think it is possible. I even purchase a track from Yahoo and used it to recover the key but that didn't help.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV


 
Hi Guys

From what I've seen in
FairUse4WM I'm very impressed. I'd like to know how to get it more fault tolerant i.e. skip over broken frames and continue. If one plays licensed DRM movies in Media player it return an error when it encounters a corrupted frame and stops. But you can move the slider past this and press play again to continue without any problem.

Is there a way to keep FairUse4WM going over these bad frames? You can re-record this by using proggies like Fraps but its so much hassle.

Regards

Besides lossless DRM removal software there are programs SoundTaxi, freeTunes, TuneBite. And they are especially useful for removing DRM from audio files if you want to save ID3 tags (artist, title, album).

I prefer to use FairUse4WM but sometimes it is useless and sometime it takes too much time to set the software up.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV


 
I've just spotted I have the problem which FairUse4WM should resolve but I'm also supporting a version of mediaplayer beyond the version it currently caters for. Is it possible that whoever created FairUse4WM might eventually provide a later version addressing V.11 Final rather than my trying the Monkey Boy fix? If I could revert back to an earlier version of media player would this resolve the problem ? Thanks in advance

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV


 
I think i may have found a problem. I retrieved the keys and converted the file fine, but now when i go back into WMP and try to play the file that originally had DRM on it, it would not play. I tried getting a license for another file that i have, and it would not play that one. The error i get is this: "An operation was attempted on a pin that doesn't exist in the DirectShow filter graph."

Here is the solution from Danj:

Since you have all the Windows Media Player updates installed, you would need to check if your Music/Video service will allow you to redownload songs, because the "roll-back" procedure that you would need to perform will destroy any existing DRM licenses you have (not just music but video too).

The reason why this roll-back procedure is needed is that the current version of FairUse4WM (1.3fix) does not support the latest version of Microsoft's "Individualized Black Box DLL" (referred to in this thread as "IBX" for short). This file is the critical system file which handles the encryption and decryption processes involved in Microsoft's DRM. A few forum posters at doom9 have discovered a method whereby they can obtain an older IBX by replacing certain Windows Media Player files with older versions. Unfortunately this seems to be a hit-and-miss process as not everyone has been able to get it to work. Also, because this file is individualized, you cannot simply download a copy of it from someone else, you have to obtain it via the proper individualization process which takes place on Microsoft's web site, otherwise it simply won't work at all.

I personally do not have any experience with the roll-back process since (so far at least) I haven't yet been forced to upgrade to Windows Media Player 11, and consequently I still have IBX version 11.0.5497.6285. If you wish to determine your own IBX version, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab.
2. Check "Show hidden files and folders".
3. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files".
4. Load Windows Explorer.
5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM.
6. Right click Indivbox.key (may also be called Indiv001.key or Indiv002.key or something - pick the one with the highest number if so) and choose Properties.
7. Click the Version tab.

Your IBX version number will be displayed at the top. If it is 11.0.6000.6324 or higher then you will need to perform the roll-back process and hope it works for you. If not, then either FairUse4WM 1.3fix or FairUse4WM 1.3 should work for decrypting your files.

FairUse4WM itself is pretty self-explanatory... it is presented in a wizard style format and supports both dragging and dropping of files and also passing filenames on the command line. The first time you use it you will need to recover your DRM keys, but after that, unless for some reason your IBX gets upgraded or you have to reindividualize, it will remember them and go straight to the file chooser dialog.
Downloads of software and rollback instructions can be found on the following page:

Can anyone help?

I have downloaded music WMA DRM format files onto my main pC which has latest version of media player so I cant use FairUse4WM. My son has iPod and I hoped to remove DRM then convert WMA to IPOD format.

If I copy the music onto my laptop which has an older version of media player suitable for FairUse4WM will it allow me to remove DRM there?

Whether you wanna to downgrade the WMP or transfer DRM-protected content to a new PC, you should contact your service provider and ask whether it is possible to re-acquire licenses for the purchased files.

The version 11.0.6000.6324 of the WMP is not supported by the Fairuse4Wm 1.3.fix. You may downgrade it (please re-read the first post), however the trick doesn't work for all.

You may also install the older version of the WMP onto clean system.

In both cases you will lose your current licenses. Make sure you can re-acquire them first.

You may also use lossy DRM removal software like Soundtaxi.

p.s. Whether there will be a new version or not is a complete mystery.

If you get "requires a different private key", go back to the first page and re-extract keys. With Fairuse4wm v1.3, watch for the final message, it should say "Primary and # secondary keys (0 bogus)".

If it didn't recover the primary, you can reindividualize - this will put the primary as a secondary key (which are easier to recover).

If it reports bogus keys, there's a bug in FairUse4WM v1.3.

If it doesn't recover any keys, then the parsing code of viodentia wasn't flexible enough to handle this particular variety.

To roll back Windows Media Player to a previous version

1. Download WMP11 beta 2 version
2. Then follow Microsoft's instructions to remove WMP11 (final)
3. Clear out DRM folder (Note that all licenses will be deleted!!!) .
4. Open the WMP11beta2.exe file and install WMP 11 beta2 making sure that your computer didn't update any part of the program.

thank you for providing all the detail information on installation and troubleshooting. unfortunately i cannot quite solve the problems i'm encountering with the existing information..

first, i think the trouble came with me updating my system recently. something might have been upgraded and i'm not sure. anyway i used to just use the automate undrm v2 and it worked fine, but after the update, it didn't work anymore.

i have also upgraded my windows media player to v11, but because i'm encountering problems un-drm-ing, i've already rolled back to v9. but things still doesnt work.

i downloaded fairuse 1.3 but i had the problem of the indiv key thing, it says 11 is not supported and need 10; i tried to do as u said to delete the DRM folder in the c drive, but from the path you provided i didn't see any folder named DRM (i can see the hidden folders).

so i tried to dload fairuse 1.3 fix but all of the download links are expired...

so help? :confused:

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV


 
thank you for the links. i downloaded both and installed them... and i got this from the fairuse 1.3 fix

Extraction in progress on "Indiv02.key" 11.0.6000.6324 -- Please wait.
Phase 0 : Blocks: 1340 Large 0 Small, Errors: 0,0 Candidates: 8,3,2
Failure - Unable to identify RC4 and AES internal keys.

...so basically it's not working still...

and after that i tried to delete the folder called DRM as the instructions said, but then when i tried to "recover keys" again it simply says no IBX components seem to be present... *goes restore the DRM folder*

btw, i have uploaded the fairuse 1.3 fix to other file hosts in case you need them:

Searching for the DRM folder


 
Searching for the DRM folder
If in Windows XP and your DRM folder is not in the C:\Documents and Settings\

Make sure "show hidden folders" is enabled:
  • In Windows Explorer go to Tools->Folder Options.
  • Select The "View" Tab.
  • Look for the heading Hidden Files and Folders and make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
  • Click the "Apply" button.
  • Also look whether "Hide extension for known file types" and "Hide protectecd operating system files" are unchecked. If they are not uncheck them and hit the "Apply" button.
  • Click Ok.
Leave the dialogue and look in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users" again.

Rolling back WMP vs. fresh install on a virtual machine


 
Instead of rolling back Windows Media Player to a previous version you can try a virtual machine (either VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC). Install Windows XP (assuming you have your Windows XP install/upgrade disc) on it and run the beta version of WMP 11 if your purchase requires it. If not you may try to use WMP 10 and remove DRM from within the Virtual PC and simply transfer the DRM-free files to your Windows XP/Vista music folder.

Until there is an update to FairUse4WM (if there will be any) to combat the new IBX this is the way I recommend if you use Windows Vista only or updated WMP to the version higher than 11.0.5705.5043.

And NEVER UPGRADE your WMP. If your DRM-licensed media files require an upgrade to WMP 11 use WMP 11 beta 2 or WMP11 beta 3!

And don't forget to re-inividualize WMP through the Microsoft's web-site after installing WMP or rolling it back.

Many thanx to all doom9 members for the contributions

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV


 
is there any information about an update to the fairuse4wm?

since that update to WMP11 this no longer works...and for me personally i can't seem to remove it.

I've tried everything to remove WMP 11 but no luck...so i'm out of luck using fairuse4wm.

so any updates? any idea if the creator will create a new version?

Nobody knows whether there will be any new updates or not.

You may try a virtual machine (either VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC). Just install Windows XP (assuming you have your Windows XP install/upgrade disc) on it and run the beta version of WMP 11 if your purchase requires it.
