Licenses help protect the copyrights of artists by preventing illegal distribution. Selecting this check box may prevent you from playing the tracks on another computer.
Note : You should back up your licenses to a floppy disk periodically. If you reinstall or upgrade your operating system, your licenses could be lost even though you retained your protected files.

wow, that is
evil, **** M$ Corp!!
i wouldnt and dont know what to do here. i am just assuming that
FairUse4WM could be the only potential help since it strips off the DRM-header of DRM-protected WMA-files. feel free to test the following on your own PC and then report it to mum
(
)
1. take a phys. original cd and insert it to CD-ROM drive of your PC
2. use WMP9/10/11, i.e. the same version of windows media player as mum's, to rip *your* audiocd. rip with DRM-protection
to lossy *.WMA-format.
3. use FairUse4WM to un'DRM your just ripped WMA's
Hope this works! luck.
EDIT:
i ripped
with copy protection. FairUse4WM doesnt recognize DRM. WMP10 doesnt state any restrictions. I dont see any restrictions either. check yourselves:
