Monday Releases Cause Crashes

The two big releases yesterday, Apple's Security Update and the DRM-canceling PlayFair, are causing problems. The Security Update appears to break cvs over pserver under some conditions (hangs for a long time, then quits with a malloc error), and ryanw writes, "according to the SF.net forum for playfair, the 'iTMS DRM stripping tool' destroys your purchased songs: the resulting files crash iTunes, the iPod, and QuickTime." Those who follow the rules -- wait a few days to install Apple's updates, and make backups of your iTMS files -- will be unaffected.

hmm how long before the moron who wrote this AND sf.net get sued. I more ocncerend about Sf.net since this is a DRM circumvention program that doesnt really have any other use. Intersting is the fact ath sf crew review software projects before apporving them, so it means they a are not just hosting this, but a party to it. Sucks for sf.net more than anything else wonder if it will impact OSDN and ./ and freshmeat. I dont see the RIIA and Apple letting this one slide by.
