Has there been any progress made for cracking encrypted MPEGs?

Pisses me off when I download an mpeg off Kazaa and I can't even play the damn thing cause it wants you to buy a license or some shit.

:confused: Cracking encrypted MPEGs?

I don't know "encrypted MPEG" - except for CSS encryption on DVDs, or Digital Rights Management in MPEG4IP files at least, or ASF/WMV files, but not in e.g. MPEG1 Program Streams: they don't even support DRM, AFAIK.

Could it be possible that someone faked a movie, and your player desperately tries to play any random nonsense data? Or just replaced the filename extension of a protected ASF by ".mpg"? Well - then I hope you had to pay much money for the time downloading this file...
