alert!!! is this what we can expect from the recording industry?

I received this message today while trying to play a CD I purchased. I added the sound files to WMP on one machine and then moved them to my main machine...I stupidly allowed WMP to do some update last week. I will use system restore to rid myself of this

message from WMP:

A license is required to play this file
The file you are trying to play was ripped (copied) from an audio CD.

During the ripping process, the file was "protected." This limits the number of computers on which the file can be played.

To play the file on this computer, you must download a license (a process known as "license migration"). A license acts an electronic key that allows you to "unlock" a protected file and play it.

To download a license for this file, click Download License.

Microsoft keeps track of the number of license migrations that have been performed for this content. Microsoft does not collect any contact information (such as your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) to perform the migration.
