Jon Johansen, the guy that brought you DeCSS, now turns to Microsoft’s Windows Media version 9. Check out the post in his blog, “[2] So sue me,” entitled simply “[3] WMV9 under Linux” for proof-screenshots[[4] 1][[5] 2] in a Linux box running [6] VLC. Another [7] article goes more in-depth, citing problems that the VC-1 format has caused Microsoft lately.

Johansen’s blog also links to [8] iOpener, which will change Protected AAC files to simply, AAC files. Exciting times for hackers everywhere. What about the backlash? What’s MS going to do with the VC-1 now that it’s unlocked?
