As much as it pains all of us to watch the ongoing legal troubles, this letter is a bit misguided. I was not under the impression that Microsoft's copyright was dependent on protecting the media which its player plays. FairUse4WM does not modify WMP, therefore it does not violate Microsoft's copyright. I'm missing the connection there.
I know I'm going to regret saying this, but I feel bad for Microsoft. They're actually stuck in the middle here. Getting pushed around by both the labels and the hackers. Never thought I'd see the day.
