DRM Support in Linux? How?

Hey guys,
A while ago I deleted stacks of mp3s that I got for.... evaluation purposes from peer to peer networks. I've since replaced them all with music that I've paid for.
I get the music from a bunch of different sites, including a couple that provide WMAs (no real problem there) as well as mp3s.
Where the problem kicks in, is WMAs that have DRM or 'digital rights management' built in, these won't play in linux, is there a way of installed DRM support so these protected files will play?

I highly doubt it, unless some kind soul has cracked the DRM scheme. It sucks not to be allowed to use something you paid for. That is why I will not buy music from DRM-infected sources. It is akin to stealing from me, and is no better than illegal downloading as far as I am concerned. What is the difference? They have narrowed the choices down to me stealing their music or them stealing my money (when the content wont play). I choose the former in that situation.
