It looks like Microsoft has issued a fix to the DRM hack, it will require new client code for every Windows Media subscription service but it doesn't look like it will require the music services to re-encode their media - which would have been a huge task.
The DRM hack was first published on 8/19/2006 and fixed on 8/28/2006. Interestingly enough, it doesn't look like Microsoft knew of it until Engaged published the article on the 25th... See Microsoft's email to Windows Media Licensees.
