FairPlay v2 Reversed, Playfair Back Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tag-you're-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Two weeks ago Apple released iTunes 4.5. The minor changes Apple made to their Music Sharing Protocol (daap) were reverse engineered after just one day. According to a post in the Doom9 forums FairPlay version 2 has also been reverse engineered. playfair has already been patched with the new code and is back online with FSF India providing legal support. How will Apple respond?"

    ...Apple should hire the guys, as they are obviously at least as good as the guys they have now.

    I'd say Apple will respond by paying someone to get the story submitted to Slashdot with a link to the offending website, thereby ensuring no one will be able to download it.

    Due to the nature of emulation, PearPC is quite slow (the client will run about 500 times slower than the host).

    So PearPC is written in Java, then?

    Ba-ZING!
