It's probably dealing in something sketchy. Mind you I haven't come across a video that required a license in ages, but when I did, usually it was some sketchy service, adware, malware, etc. My advice is to cut your losses and find a version of that torrent that doesn't require any kinda license. It's most likely adware, spam, malware, etc.

Im 100% sure its a WMV, and it have a DRM loaded in it. It will ask you to download a certificate/license, and usually its a fake, that will get some spyware on your PC, as LS said.
