iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked

luaine writes with an Engadget article claiming the cracking of iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM. From the article: "[A] new app called QTFairUse6 looks like it can now be used (with some amount of difficulty) to dump iTunes version 6.0.4 - 6.0.5 files of their chastely protection." At present this is a Windows-only tool for those who are "not afraid to get [their] hands dirty with a little python." Engadget does not provide a link to QTFairUse6, and neither will we. We've run several DRM stories recently, but it's been 19 months since Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn.

    Yahoo and MSN show results. Google does not. Good to see they're doing no evil.

    Haven't you heard? Google CEO joins Apple Board.

    Google have given up on 'do no evil' in favour of joining Apple ;-)

    Hey, we Americans don't want any of that Socialist crap like they have in Europe! We're all about capitalism here, and free markets with businesses unfettered by government regulation! If the market wanted unlocked, non-crippled phones, we'd have them. But the market has decided, and it wants crippled phones!

    Pah! Those Europeans and their "free choice" crap... Next thing you know, they'll be talking about how they need more than two political parties to choose from!

    I recently heard about an amazing new concept called "link". Somehow stuff can be associated with a location, and activating this particular stuff will allow you to travel quickly to the associated location! I'm not yet sure if such a crazy idea is even possible, but it's a really exciting idea.
