Jon Lech Johansen ‘cracks’ iTunes copy protection
October 25th, 2006 by e-tech
It used to be that any music downloaded from iTunes could only be played on an iPod, but not any longer thanks to the prominent hacker Jon Lech Johansen from DoubleTwist who has “reverse engineered” the FairPlay system.
“There’s a certain amount of trouble that Apple can give us, but not enough to stop this,” Monique Farantzos, managing director at DoubleTwist told Associated Press.
“We believe we’re on good legal ground, and our attorneys have given us the green light on this.”
