iTunes v6 FairPlay DRM Cracked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday August 30, 2006 @05:39AM from the round-and-round-they-go dept.

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.

I wonder how many of the itunes fanboys (who crowed in the story about playsforsure being cracked) are going to be here hanging their heads in shame?

Yeah. And JHymn hasn't worked since, like, 18 months ago. Certainly hasn't worked in iTunes 6 nor do I think iTunes 5 either......
