Apple and Real Networks are feuding over access to Apple's popular iPod music player. Real released Harmony , an application which allows users to play music downloaded from Real's online music store in, among other players, the iPod. The iPod is designed to play music downloaded from iTunes , its popular online music store , and especially those encoded with Apple's Advanced Audio Codec ( AAC ) standard. Apple attacked the move, and threatened a programming reaction:

"We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker Latest News about hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the DMCA [Digital Millenium Copyright Act] and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time, it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods."

Real, whose CEO had asked Apple to open the iPod to other file formats earlier this year , reiterated its request.
