The latest update to Apple's iTunes, version 4.7.1, breaks the anti-DRM utility Hymn (aka PlayFair) released last year to unDRM Apple's FairPlay scheme and allow for protected songs to be copied freely.
The Hymn tool is used to remove restrictions put in place at Apple'siTunes Music Store, allowing people who have purchased music there touse it as they see fit, much like a regular CD. At least, accordign tosupporters of the program.
Apple, RIAA et al allege that the program is used to allow people to pirate tunes purchased from the online store.
Earlier in the year Apple threatened the author and his host. In May, Anand Babu moved the software to a host in India.
