Comments on: iTunes hack disabled by Apple

Underground programmers' copy protection-free version of the online music store is blocked.

[Bill Dautrive]

And next week..

There will be a new way to strip music of unfair DRM.

DRM is a bad idea, whose time needs to end soon. Content providers need to concentrate more on not producing garbage content, and less on trying to protect said garbage from fair use.

No worries

I don't buy said garbage so it is all good. Besides I guy borrow a friend's music or buy a used CD to copy of my DRM free MP3es. :P

Right now I can expend such little energy to circumvent DRM services it isn't an issue to me.

The informed consumer is the smart consumer. Buying from the right places in the right formats means you have the freedom you need now and into the future.

Lazy, ignorant consumers can whine when company's close the door on their rights but won't get sypathy from me.

Here here!

Word up. And those of us who aren't lazy and stupid will
continue buying used cd's.. USED because it comes from a
reseller who doesn't give any money to the record label or
distributor for its sale AND because its cheaper than the legal
digital option, and CDs because they're DRM-free and can be
made into digital while you get to keep a hard copy for no extra
expense.

Correction!...

Jons DeCSS was NOT DVD-copying software, it only decrypted the content!.
You don't need DeCSS for copying, bur for viewing.

Plese get you facts right from now on...

Vicious Cycle

What a vicious cycle... Apple keeps creating new software for iTunes, which in turn continues to be hacked into, in which Apple creates newer software, and so on and so on.

This problem is only a tempory fix until the hackers find another way in... it's inevitable.

iTunes for Linux

For those who would like to have iTunes ported under Linux, go there and tell it to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

iTunes for Linux won't happen

hate to break the news, but Apple will never, ever come out with a Linux version of iTunes. Too small of a market, plus most linux users don't have the funds for the Music Store or iPods. Sad kinda, but the bottom line is it will never happen.

Just get a Mac mini and use iTunes that way.
