The Norwegian programmer who distributed the first widely used
tool for cracking the copy protection technology found on DVDs
has turned his attention to Apple Computer's iTunes, reports
CNet.
Late last week, programmer Jon Johansen posted a small program
called QTFairUse to his Web site, with little instruction and
even less explanation. But during the next few days, it became
clear that the program served as a demonstration of how to evade,
if not exactly break, the anti-copying technology wrapped around
the songs sold by Apple in its iTunes store.
