Removing DRM using Windows Mobile??

Removing DRM using Windows Mobile??

 

FairUse4WM and freeme2 died a long time a go for me :'(. I gave up on it. So i just carry the protected Rhapsody song around in my compatible player. Currently im using my Sprint Mogul w/8GB SDHC as my music player. It's On-The-Go compatible, technically any device running Windows Mobile with WMP properly installed can be 'Authorized' to play protected files.

One day when I had to reset the phone i realized that the protected WMA files on my Mogul were, bit-for-bit, identical to the files stored on my laptop. i.e. I can copy a protected WMA file from my laptop to my Mogul and it will play. I also noticed that the license file on my mogul was a single file stored in the WMDRM folder. I got me wondering if the protection scheme in Windows Mobile is much more simpler than the protection scheme in Windows XP/Vista. Since the files/songs are the same on both WinMo and XP then maybe the keys can be extracted from my Mogul and used to strip the DRM from the files on my laptop.

I'm bumping this to see if someone gets a brilliant idea.

Like I said, the wma files on my WM phone's storage card are exactly the same as the files on my laptop but the licence file on my storage card is a single .hds file. Is key extraction possible?

The idea is really brilliant. M$ has never forced any upgrades on mobile phones with Windows Mobile, so it should be much easier to remove DRM from Windows Mobile than from updated Windows.
