Web News: ITunes Hacked.

nev_payne · 19-March-05, 09:33 AM

A group of hackers has managed to get round the ITunes anti-copying system. While this software called "PyMusique" is mainly used by Linux users at the current moment, Apple will go legal if the Windows version is used any more than it already has. One of the creators stated it was simply "an accident" that the protection on the downloaded songs was removed, and no harm was intended towards Apple.

Well, I hope he doesn't get screwed by Apple, he's only 17 and I applaud what he's done. You paid for the song, why must it have so much encryption crap on it?

I love iTunes and would use it more than I do already if they would just let me have MP3s (without copy protection). For know I am just using my free Pepsi iTunes credits and then when they run out so does my love of iTunes. No way Im giving real money for crippled music. As it is now Im burning an audio CD on a CDRW and ripping them back into MP3s to get read of the craptastical copy protection.

Damn you Apple, Damn you.......
