Done Something Good Lately? Congratulations! You're A Target!

Three programmers have released PyMusique, a program which allows users to log on to the iTunes Music Store to purchase and download songs before any of them can be protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). "Joining Jon Johansen, the Norwegian programmer responsible for distributing DVD [encryption] cracking code in late 1999, the programmers say their PyMusique software is a 'fair interface for iTunes', primarily aimed at allowing people who use the Linux operating system to purchase music from Apple's store," reports CNET News.com. "But with a Windows version of the software also available, it's likely to trigger a legal response from Apple, which has closely guarded access to its online music store and has depended on its copy protection software to gain rights to sell music online."
