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.'"

    All "Redundant" mods will be meta-modded "Unfair" until the mods can prove they know what "redundant" means.

    Somebody mod this guy Redundant for using the word Redundant twice, then mod me Redundant for using it one more time than that. If the worst should happen and I use the word Redundant again, then any child responses to this message shall inherit their own mod of Redundant.

    And... one after that.
