Zune Pass and DRM hacks...

sandsurfngbomber · 12-25-2007, 10:04 PM

i m planning on buying a zune 80gb version in a few days and after looking at some reviews people have been complaining about the DRM issue. i already know that i will be installing the external hard-drive capability hack since that is one of the reasons why i m buying the 80gb zune. i m also a collector when it comes to music, i had a trial account on Windows Media Player's Urge, i downloaded about 30GBs of music in my 1month trial, i thought i could trick the software by some crazy methods and be able to keep my music, nothing i tried worked so now the music is still there but it doesnt play and tells me i need to buy its license from mtv, so basically all my collection went to waste and i have to re-download everything. I know i can use limewire and bit-torrent sites to download it all but 30GBs of music will take me A WHILE to find, download and then sort. If i buy the zune i would like to get the zune pass and download as much music as i can, the only thing is i dont want to keep paying $15 every month for the rest of my life just to listen to music, this to me is ridiculous. I learned through the zune site that as soon as i stop paying, all my music will become unplayable. I was wondering if there is any way i can buy the pass for a couple of months and download all the music i need to and then have it stay and work on my computer and on zune after canceling the pass subscription. I have been hearing about FairUse4WM, would you guys know if it would help in my situation? any help here would be very appreciated. you guys could really help me determine if i should buy one or not.

That would be called stealing.
