Apple disables iTunes hack

Apple disables iTunes hack 03/22/2005 03:49 PM
Apple Computer has closed a security hole that allowed an underground program to tap into its iTunes Music Store and purchase songs stripped of antipiracy protections.

The PyMusique software, created by a trio of independent programmers online, emerged last week as a copy protection-free back door into the popular iTunes store. One of the creators was Jon Johansen, the Norwegian programmer responsible for releasing DVD-copying software in 1999. Apple released a statement Monday saying the problem had been fixed, and that some iTunes customers would need to upgrade their software.

"The security hole in the iTunes Music Store which was recently exploited has been closed, and as a consequence the iTunes Music Store will now sell music only to customers using iTunes version 4.7," the company said in a statement. Like all other digital music companies, Apple has been dealing continually with hackers intent on finding ways around the antipiracy protections that are added to songs as they are sold online.

But the iPod would just be a cool-looking gadget if it weren’t for its lesser-known sibling.” [Jun 16, 2005]

iTunes Giveaway, Including 10,000 Song
Gift Certificate 07/01/2004 10:48 AM

Good news for those people who actually use iTunes Music Store -- in celebration of the approaching sale of the 100 millionth song, Apple will be giving away 50 special 20GB iPods to the purchasers of every 100,000th song. If you're the lucky person who purchases the song number 100 million, you'll win a 17-inch Powerbook, a 40GB iPod, and a gift certificate for 10,000 iTunes downloads. Oh, and your own Celebrity playlist, too, which I recommend you fill up entirely with Hall & Oates, or at least Oates.

The contest is available to US and European iTunes Music Store customers.
