S.O.S. on Windows 7 Media Player 12

Disconnecting from the Internet does nothing for Downloading. Trying other Media Players? Aren't the Internet Explorer Protocols that link whatever Media Player, Windows 7, and WindowsMedia.com still there? How do you get rid of those? This WindowsMedia.com, with Digital Rights Management, is starting to sound like the Master Control Program from Tron! Even so, it goes even farther by monitoring what CDs I listen to, in the privacy of my own home! Privacy isn't a choice, it is a Right! Microsoft, and Bill Gates don't know the difference? The thing that burns me the most is the PC Music Serving BandWagon trying to drive this thing down everyones throat, and not forwarning anyone about things like this!
Just leaving everyone to be blindsided who are trying to create a PC Music Server! Since everyone is avoiding my earlier question, I will ask it one more time: Concidering Privacy issues, why was something like this even concidered? Is it because no-one has an answer? Can anyone here honestly admit that maybe the PC Music Server wasn't such a good idea after all? Hey, if Corporations are going to monitor what I do in the Privacy of my own Home, maybe the price of your PC Music Serving Band Wagon is too high?
If not, then where exactly do you draw the line, or do you just allow Corporations to continuosly push the line further back? WindowsMedia.com isn't the End, it is just the beginning. Who else do you want peeking into your Bedroom? Is PC Music Server worth that?

Switch to Mac?

Did you try my suggestion? With respect to your other questions and concerns, I don't believe you'll receive a satisfactory answer from this forum.

Please read this, you may not agree, but it is informational:

and no, I'm not a Microsoft employee or affiliated with them in any way.

Lenny_zwik: Privacy Statement is included with Windows 7. You can refer to Recommended Settings/ What this Feature does/ The Player (Windows Media Player 12) can automatically obtain Media Usage Rights when needed (for more information, see Microsoft Digital Rights Management).
Everytime you use Windows Media Player, and load a CD Disk, the Disk gets scanned. The information automatically gets sent via Online to WindowsMedia.com. The Information is scanned for Media Usage Rights and Digital Rights Management. The CD will not play unless Windows Media Player gets the Copyright green light from WindowsMedia.com. Ditto for DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Music Files, Downloads, Ripped Copies, and all other Media. None of my Media has ever been required to be scanned this way prior to playback. Forget CD-R's of my own Music, no Copy
Right Records are going to exist in WindowsMedia.com Databanks. Not allowing Internet access to my Media, pretty much kills Downloading. Replacing the Windows Media Player with another Media Player, still leaves the Protocols in Internet Explorer that automatically link Media Player/Windows Internet Explorer/ Online straight to
WindowsMedia.com everytime you stick a Disk in the DVD-ROM,
Download or transfer Music Files. Oh yeah, this baby is definitely a Mouse Trap, and they even had the insidiousness to call this thing a Privacy Statement. As if they are looking after your own interest and Privacy.
Congradulations, fellow PC Music Server users! Another fine mess of a Snake-Oil Format that you have gotten the guilible Buying American Public to sink their money into!
I really can't handle all of this convenience!
