Apple Hunts Playfair in India

Posted by michael on from the from-hell's-heart-i-stab-at-thee dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A news posting at Sarovar.org says that they have to take down the 'PlayFair' program upon receiving a notice from Apple's attorneys. They are awaiting their attorneys' response. This is bad news for all those who appreciated this cool program. Let's hope that 'PlayFair' might appear in some other country now."

  1. Why are you championing this product? by masonbrown · · Score: 2, Troll

    Seriously, I welcome the fact that I can go and instantly buy a single song I heard and liked for 99 cents. The one thing that upsets me is that just because someone's being all bitchy about any DRM, this solution is possibly in jeopardy. If you want the song without DRM, go get it on some P2P network. Is there any song that's available on Apple's store that's not already available ripped straight from CD to MP3/OGG/MP4/WMA? The only thing this guy's doing is weakening Apple's ability to assuage the RIAA's fears about digital distribution, threatening the distribution medium and process altogether.
