Regarding hints on evading iTunes Store copy protection
Rob,
About fair use...
The reason I would be willing to publish such hints, if it were not
for the DMCA, is that I think there are legitimate uses
of an unencrypted song that one has legally bought -- the
example of streaming it to my living room MP3 player, for
example.
So it is a good thing to know how to do, and can be used for legal purposes (assuming fair use still applies), unlike the fertilizer bomb scenario. I for one would use such a process to allow my entire home to have access to the tunes that I have legally purchased. I would not, however, ever allow such a tune to be given away to others for that would be hurting the artists in the long run... So that's why the DMCA came up as the primary reason -- it's preventing me from publishing info that I think has good value and can be used in a non-copyright-infringing manner. -rob.
Legitimate use of explosives
If you published a hint on getting a ProfiBus card working on OSX, and the application was detonating explosives, woudn't this be legitimate? Explosives are used in mining, construction, emergency services...
About fair use...
I too have an auditotron and would like to be able to play my aac files over it (although I'm thinking of ditching it for a rendezvous enabled tivo). I think it's logical to assume that these devices will soon be aac compliant which is why I'm thinking of going to tivo. They seem to be a more mac friendly company. |
