The first 4 files can possibly be widely re-distributed and mirrored without much fear of real legal worries -- however, you will almost certainly be harassed by several big and powerful companies, so keep that in mind. The last two files (the program) cause more problems: distributing these in the U.S. is almost certainly a violation of the DMCA. However, outside the U.S. should be mostly ok -- so mirror these on as many foreign sites as possible! Again, you may be harassed by big and powerful companies, and might get threatening letters from lawyers, so be prepared for that.

INSTALLATION: There's just a single executable file "FreeMe.exe" to install. You can copy it so that it's in your executable PATH (for example, copy to directory C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND), or you can put a shortcut to it on your desktop -- see below.

USAGE: This is a command-line program, and the best way to run it is from the command line. If it is installed, and the executable is in your PATH, all you have to do is type "freeme x.wma" at a DOS prompt in order to unprotect the file "x.wma". There is a verbose flag that you can invoke to have it print out all sorts of information as it discovers it (your public/private key pairs, KID of the file you're unprotecting, content key, etc.). For example, typing "freeme -v x.wma" unprotects the file as above, but in verbose mode. The output file will be called "Freed-x.wma", where "x.wma" is the original filename.

One problem with this being a command line utility is that many audio files have very long file names, so you'll have to put the filename in quotes in order for this to work, like so: Prompt> freeme "Billy and the Boingers - The RIAA Stole My Soul.wma"

As an alternative, you can put a shortcut to the FreeMe.exe executable on your desktop, and then can simply drag files from the file explorer to FreeMe. However, there is one big problem with this: the filename given to FreeMe is actually the short filename, so if you did this
