The makers of Fairuse4WM have modified their application in order to remove the restrictions on protected WMA and WMV files once again.
This happens just days after Microsoft has issued a patch that prevented Fairuse4WM from removing DRM data from files.

Fairuse4WM works by stripping the DRM information from protected windows media files allowing users to freely manipulate the files and play them back as they see fit.

The apparently failed update from Microsoft changed the IBX in PlaysForSure rendering v.1.1 useless to users who were forced to update through their content provider. FairUse4WM v.1.2 is backwards compatible with files that have yet to be updated.

Although it only took Microsoft 3 days to issue its first fix it appears that the FairUse4WM creators are still one step ahead of the software giant.
