That is out of the scope of the Wine project.

Moreover that's called a copy protection circumvention and is illegal.
Depending on your jurisdiction. US, sure. Europe, etc., not so much.
And of course, countries not signatory to the Berne convention/some other copyright agreement treaty can legally infringe copyrights from other countries.
Copyrights are a mess...

--- Comment #51 from landeel cleberdemattoscasali-wine@yahoo.com.br 2009-08-28 18:15:40 --- I know this is really out of Wine's scope. But I mean if such a project existed, totally apart from wine, it would benefit wine users.
