Group Hacks at Apple iTunes Profit
DRM Disabled
Programmers have developed a crack for Apple's digital rights management (DRM) software which allows users to bypass restrictions on the use of its iTunes.
PyMusique was written by a group of hackers from the US and Norway. With it, users can ignore music protection rules when they legally enter the Apple iTunes to purchase songs. This allows music files to be copied repeatedly and played on other digital music players. The program was originally intended for Linux users but has now been developed for Windows, a move that is sure to optimise its use.
The programmers, led by notorious 'legal' hacker, Jon Lech Johansen, deny that PyMusique breaks any copyright law.
Neither Apple nor the music industry have commented about their contracts or copyrights being breached. |
