There's a beta out. It *could* be that so you could bypass that authentication/verification crap.

And on a side note, this is old news. :P

Because it got leaked, everybody's using it.  Because everybody's using it, Microsoft's software becomes slightly more used.  I think that Microsoft benefits in the long run.

Do you think this could be on purpose?

Possibly, but probably not.  I honestly don't think they mind much, though.  If they did, they'd give it a CD key or something.

Although the leak wasn't intentional, it is good advertising for them. It works for them either way and since WMP is free there is really no money loss. Win-Win.
