iTunes 6 DRM has been cracked

In an interesting turn of events, Apple's DRM system for iTunes 6 has also just been cracked. The crack was supplied by hymn forum member igorsk and is an update to the QTFairUse DRM remover, which itself uses the pydbg package from Pedram Amini. For those who haven't heard, Microsoft WMA 11 DRM system was also cracked earlier this week using a program called FairUse4WM. Microsoft has since said that this is no big deal since they can update/patch their DRM format at any time. Curiously, WMA 10 DRM has been cracked since last year, yet Microsoft has only now addressed the issue. In the end, I think it's fair to say that fairuse for all is indeed good news for everyone [except Apple and Microsoft].

 

Expect both programs to be updated continuously as long as Apple and Microsoft update their technologies or until they're shut down. To find updated versions, use google or keep watching the forums I've linked to above.

 

EDIT: Sorry, but it's probably not a good idea to link to DRM-circumventing apps! Google is your friend in these situations.

It means that music downloaded from iTunes can be converted to a file without DRM (Digital Rights Management) which allows it to be used without restrictions of copying..etc

 

Same with WMA DRM

Needles to say the URL's to the relavant programs are for the Windows versions. And therefore are insignificant to us.

 

However this can be used by Apple to state that Apple computers (running OSX) are safer (for them that is) than their Windows counterparts.

 

This is also more of a showcase for the people involved then of much use. Since you know what you're getting into if you deal with Apple and/or Microsoft.

Every time a file undergoes a conversion, quality is lost. From what people have reported so far, this method produces an exact replica with no loss in quality.

 

Now if only there was a specific place to find high-quality tracks ripped from the ITMS, album art and all...
