content. If the WMDRM software fails to protect the
content, content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the
software's ability to use WMDRM to play or copy protected
content. Revocation does not affect unprotected content.
When you download licenses for protected content, you
agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the
licenses. Content owners may require you to upgrade
WMDRM to access their content. If you decline an
upgrade, you will not be able to access content that
requires the upgrade.
