How does Windows Media DRM protect digital content?
Microsoft Windows Media DRM uses a wide range of cryptographic and anti-piracy techniques to protect digital media content and its own integrity. Microsoft Windows Media Rights Manager, the technology that packages files and issues licenses, encrypts a given media file with a full-strength encryption algorithm. No decryption key is contained in the Windows Media Format file container. Decrypting an isolated Windows Media file would require breaking industrial-strength cryptographic algorithms.
