Yes, that would be okay. Then again, I don't see much DRM-free WMA 
content on the net at all (MP3 seems to be the standard format for files 
without copy-protection.) Most of the time people will want to do the 
conversion because they downloaded music from a download shop or from a 
copy-protected CD and now want to mix the song or make a ring tone for 
their phone or so. In this case, I would think that raising awareness 
for the issue (of copy protection) would be far better than pointing 
people to tools that may or may not work.
