Steve, when I had them on the computer before my hard disk drive and Windows
reinstall, it gave me the option to download a licence for them from a
website and they played fine. The licence obviously must've gon when the
Windows was reinstalled, but now it's not launching the website that lets
you get the licence.

Hi Donna,
Your friend has probably bought these files from a perfectly legal download
service, but they are copy protected by DRM, Digital Rights Management.
Therefore, only your friend can play them, and only on that one computer,
plus any portable devices he/she may transfer them to. Even the ability to
transfer can be restricted by Digital Rights Management. What DRM doesn't
allow them to do though, is give the files away. So you will probably never
be able to play those files.

A friend has sent me two wma files. When I try to play them in Winamp it
says I need a licence. I press the yes button and apparently a web site is
supposed to launch, but this isn't happening. Any idead why?
