myFairTunes simply grabbed the decrypted frames from memory using a debugger and re-assembled them - effective but not innovative. Apple ignored this for months (years?).
Requiem apparently broke the FairPlay encryption (I haven't seen it), which prompted Apple's immediate action. Several people on the hymn-project forums downloaded the source for Requiem and commented on how smart its approach was. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have reappeared since the original source was taken down, which is a great pity.
