Tough To Get Fraud Shopping Site Taken
Offline 12/02/2003 12:14 AM
There are a ton of scam e-commerce sites online, but what can you do if you find one? After one firm discovered that a scam online store was using their address, they complained to various authorities to get the site taken down. Six weeks later and the site is still up. The fake site apparently includes fake security certificates from VeriSign and a fake Truste seal. This brings up a different issue: these things are fairly easy to fake, but very few people ever check to see if they're real. More concerning, however, is that the fraudulent site's host, Yahoo!, has been informed that the site is a fraud and hasn't taken the site down. Now, it's good that they don't just take down the site with no review - but it's not hard to discover the faked VeriSign and Truste logos.

Apple takes Playfair bullying to India

Apple takes Playfair bullying to India 04/16/2004 11:50 AM
Playfair is the program that removes the use-restriction wrapper from your iTunes Music Store tracks. It used to be hosted on SourceForge, but they chickened out when Apple sent them a bullying note demanding takedown under the ludicrous and loathesome DMCA. Playfair moved to a host in India, which apparently has no such law, but now Apple has nastygrammed the Indian hosts too, resulting in another takedown while the Indians get some legal advice. Gee, Apple, you really can't buy publicity like this. Well, you can. But why would you want to? Link (via /.)

Playfair is back! 05/11/2004 03:34 AM
Playfair is the iTuens music player that removed the restrictions from the music you bought from Apple. It was hounded off Sourceforge by Apple's lawyers, and then it relocated to a server in India, only to be removed again at Apple's behest. Now it's back a third time, still hosted in India, with a new name: "hymn" (Hear Your Music aNywhere).

playfair has been renamed to hymn (hear your music anywhere) and is back online with the legal backing of FSF India. It has been updated with the latest FairPlay code from VideoLAN.

Where Apple makes its money is from the iPod -- and the iPod is the only device you can play music bought at the iTunes Store on. Hymn/PlayFair removes that link between iPod and iTMS, making it possible to buy music on the store while using it on a competing player. That lack of tie-in is what makes Hymn a threat to Apple.

It has a new hosting site and name: Hymn. Understand: You still have to have bought the songs in order to use this, and the songs are still tied to the unique ID created when you purchased. This is about fair use, not "pirating" other people's work.
