APPLE vs DVD Jon

VS

DVD Jon A new hope

DVD Jon and two other programmers have released software they call "PyMusique", that allows people to connect to Apple's iTunes music store and purchase songs without any copyright protection. PyMusique is allegedly being described by its developers as "the fair interface to the ITunes Music Store". This software lets users download songs from Apple iTunes without Digital Rights Management (DRM). The software prevents the DRM from being applied, allowing the user to copy, share and use the downloaded song like an MP3 file.


APPLE Strikes Back

It was always too good to last. Apple has stamped on an attempt to make it possible to purchase songs from the company's iTunes Music Store without having DRM restrictions added to the downloads. In a statement, the Mac maker announced last night that it was henceforth requiring all ITMS customers to upgrade to version 4.7 of Apple's iTunes jukebox software. iTunes 4.7 was released late last year, and is already notable for nobbling DRM-stripping utility Hymn.

Return of the DVD Jon

A group of underground programmers has posted code online they say will reopen a back door in Apple Computer's iTunes store, allowing Linux computer users to purchase music free of copy protection. The release comes just a day after Apple blocked a previous version of the program, called PyMusique, in part by requiring all iTunes customers to use the latest version of Apple's software.
