iTunes hack by DVD Jon

The famous DVD Jon is back and this time around, he has hacked a way to buy songs off of iTunes with out the DRM.

When you buy a song off of iTunes Music Store the software doesnŐt add the digital rights management tag until the song has been downloaded. Well Jon has put together a program that conveniently neglects to wrap the file with any of the copy protection. His new DRM neglecting program is called PyMusique.

DVD Jon is originally credited with hacking the encryption software that protected and localized DVDs. More lately he cracked the digital rights management of iTunes music store tracks for use by the GNU/Linux community. DVD Jon typically states that his motives are for the neglected Linux community and that the previous two hacks were to allow Linux users to watch DVDs and listen to iTunes songs on their computers.
