What's to stop someone from writing an output plugin that would transcode protected WMA's?

In the US, that would be the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
Peruse it, if you like, here.

Touche, but I meant more from a technical standpoint. I seem to recall Winamp being forced to change so only directsound out and no DSP plugins could be used with WMAs (protected or not).

And as a Canadian I'd like to point out that MJ has lots of international users :). If you consider Canada a country :P

Security is built into the plugin architecture.
