Regarding hints on evading iTunes Store copy protection
Authored by: zaphon on May 07, '03 12:30:56PM

Well I'm kind of torn by this. I do understand your wish to not
get involved in an ugly DMCA case, but at the same time think
that this whole DMCA business is getting out of hand.

I think it would be one thing for you to provide instructions on
how to rip it, and than promote a free service for everyone to
share their purchased music. But on the other hand, in the
interest of your legal rights to fair use, the files being in a
protected format, only leaves you with 1 choice to fairly use
them on ALL systems.

Now at the same time, it truly is SIMPLE to do. And no you
don't have to burn a CD to do it, there are plenty of apps
already on your hard drive that have not been AAC encryption
enabled and hence will freely do the job for you. I'm sure that
the next revs of these programs will remove this ability, but who
knows.

Anyway, I personally feel it's pretty sad that a site that
promotes information can't desiminate with information that
isn't there for the mass piracy of music, but rather for the
consumer to enjoy his full rights to fair use.

Regarding hints on evading iTunes Store copy protection

Shoot. Now I'm intrigued. I don't even have any iTMS music I've purchased yet... but I have to know what applications already on my hard drive that can remove .m4p protection...

Caveat: as I said, I don't have any files to even use it on. Even if I did, I don't support stealing music, under any circumstances.

(Was that a caveat or a disclaimer?)
