Free iTunes Over a Browser

Ade writes "One may now listen and search for Apple iTunes music via this front end or any webserver running the perl script called iTMS-4-ALL, which was written by Jason Rohrer, programmer of the secure filesharing system MUTE who hopes the script 'helps revive everyone's ITMS interfaces.' Music activists Downhill Battle, who organised the Grey Tuesday protests for disseminating censored music, run a copy of the script and say 'this is a cute tool, but it has the potential to become a powerful weapon to fight the major record label monopoly' in the ways they outline. Playing the music requires QuickTime for the ~600kb downloadable MP4 snippets to be heard." Update: 04/19 01:41 GMT by H : Thanks to Aaron at Punboy for sending us a link to a faster server.

    It's just more of the same bullshit from the dumbasses that think anything that costs money can't be good. So let's go and reverse engineer this network, dumping hours of time into building something that doesn't support half the features of the REAL software, runs at half the speed, has an ugly fucking interface, and is basically only a half-assed job all around. But it's Free, so it's good, right? Right?
