The author's zipped file contains a lengthy description of the MS DRM
weaknesses, a philosophical tract explaining why he thinks it necessary to
crack, the source code, and the command-line utility.
The alias Beale Screamer, incidentally, derives from the lines of 'Howard
Beale' in the movie 'Network', we're told. "Just yell to the publishers
'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'"

Found this on sci.crypt today. It's an interesting piece of research which
will most likely be stomped soon by MS using DMCA or similar.
