Website claims XP used pirated software
A REPORT on German website Tec Channel claimed that pirated software was used to create some audio files in the Windows Media Player tour in XP.
Tec Channel said that if a hex editor is used to open an audio file there's a signature showing a signature, allegedly created by a cracker.
Tec Channel told the INQ it had contacted both Microsoft and Sony - which owns the tool used to make the file, Soundforge - for clarification. But by the end of play yesterday neither Sony nor Microsoft had contacted the magazine.
Moritz Jaeger, a journalist at Tec Channel, told the INQ that Deepz0ne, a name embedded in the signature, was involved in cracking the Franhoufer-MP3-Codec in 1998.
