Crossplatform iTunes Sharing and Trading

Posted by michael on from the brought-to-you-in-spite-of-apple dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As reported on Cnet and others, an open source java iTunes client named ourTunes has been released under the GPL by a group of anonymous hackers. Unlike the Apple iTunes for Windows and Mac, ourTunes allows a user to queue up and save to disk the music shared by other users. Recent court rulings have held that developers of p2p file sharing software cannot be held liable for 'for any copyright infringement committed by people using their products.'"

    This is modded as insightful? You're kidding, right?

    It isn't "stealing". It's called "copyright infringement".
