Windows Media Player 11 strips your rights

Link to Inquirer article commenting on the new WMP 11 license. Among other things, it says that you won't be able to move your own CD rips from one machine to another without contacting MS. Also built-in is the feature that wipes your media center "tivo"-like recordings after three days. Doesn't matter if you've watched it yet or not.

The wonders of DRM, agressive media, and a monopoly software empire. Danger, Will Robinson!
