Hi...

Your post is a little confusing as to the number of files that you are finding to be a problem...
Is it only one file, as you mentioned re: the message from WMP ?

My first guess is that the file(s) in question are 'locked'...
Meaning that there is some form of a 'security' included in the file that can only be 'unlocked' with a 'code'... Sounds as if you need to pay money to Napster2 (or some other criminal org.) in order to receive the 'unlock code'.

btw... If you ever happen to come across any files being shared that purport to be 'keygens' (key generators), be VERY cautious before 'opening' them... There is a very high probability that such files will actually be what are called 'Diallers'.
'Diallers' make telephone calls that are charged at extremely high rates and are intended to cheat you out of money.

Perhaps there will be others responding to your post...
I hope so as it would be interesting to hear more about the file 'locks' and payment system used by Microsoft, errr, sorry, Intel... no... MSNBC... no, General Electric ? Nope... Oh, yeah... ALL of the above, and some others, who happen to be the real owners of Napster2 !!!
