03/19/2005 03:27 AMJon Johansen, also known as DVD Jon, has once again attacked Apple's
method of protecting iTunes bought from the Music Store. The
Norwegian programmer famous for breaking the encryption software that
protected and localized DVDs, has found a way of buying digital rights
management-free tracks using his PyMusique application. Since the
iTunes Music Store adds the digital rights management tag after a
track has been bought and downloaded, Johansen has devised a front-end
that, according to engadget, "conveniently neglects to wrap the file
with any copy protection."

users of iTunes older than version 4.7 will need to upgrade in order

seems increasingly likely is that the music-download business may be
leaving the era in which illegal copying is its worst concern.

Link to Jon
Johansen's blog.
Here's a snip from
The Register's story:
PyMusique [is] a Python-based utility that offers a "fair interface to
the iTunes Music Store", co-written with Travis Watkins and Cody
Brocious. The app provides the usual ITMS features - access to song
previews and the ability to set up a payment account and to use it to
buy songs - but there are two crucial differences.
First, PyMusique allows you to re-download songs you've purchased. So
if your hard drive goes up the Suwannee and you haven't backed it up
for a while, you can re-acquire your ITMS-sourced song library.
Second, none of the tracks you download will be encumbered with DRM.
Of course, it's of very questionable legality. Quite apart from
potentially bypassing Apple's FairPlay copy protection system - a
no-no according to Europe's European Union Copyright Directive (EUCD)
- running the software infringes the terms and conditions ITMS user
agree to abide by when they set up an account.

06/10/2004 09:52 AM
God damn it,
Apple. So I don't buy a lot of albums from iTunes Music Store, because
I'm cheap and Denton had to get another set of gold fronts, but I've
got a couple here and there, which I have unlocked with Playfair/Hymn. Now part of the
whole shtick with Hymn is that even though it strips the iTunes DRM,
it leaves your email address and other unique purchasing information
in the protected AAC file, ostensibly to symbolically signify that
Hymn users aren't trying to spread their fairly-purchased music files
to the whole world, but instead to whatever devices they want. I
unlocked mine so that I could be sure to play them after I had
reformatted my machine. I'm pretty sure Apple has a method of
reauthorizing your computer, but that's a hassle. But now the new
version of iTunes has recognized that the DRM-stripped M4P files were
purchased from iTMS and is telling me my (reformatted, reinstalled)
machine isn't authorized to play them. So gee, thanks for that,
Apple.
Get the fix after the jump.
