I have the same problem. I have a licensed "Pirates Buster" movie that can play, but there seems to be nothing that can remove the protection.

When you play the file, it changes from WMV.GGGZ to .wmv, but FairUse4WM still can't use it, possibly because there's a file lock on it. Programs like Unlocker can't get around this either. Of course, I've never had Unlocker work with ANYTHING, so maybe that program just sucks.

I notice if you suspend/kill (using process explorer) the Pirates Buster program and the wmplayer that's launched from it's tree, the .wmv isn't renamed back to .wmv.gggz. But it's still locked and you can't do anything with it. Also, if you suspend the two Pirates Buster exe's but leave the WMPlayer it launched running, you can still watch the movie. Dunno how relevant this is.


Pirates Buster is a nasty little program too. I tried to authorize the movie on my laptop (just download the program, then download the file from the site, it will not work if you COPY the file) and I accidentally disallowed it in zonealarm from calling home (only ONCE). Now even after uninstalling, reinstalling and redownloading the LARGE movies, the program still won't even ATTEMPT to authorize them, it just says there's no license.
