PyMusique Strikes Back

no drm, thank you

Jon Lech Johansen, one of the coders behind PyMusique and the guy who broke the DVD encryption scheme back in the day, has just announced that he has decrypted the iTMS block on non-iTunes 4.7 connections to the iTMS.  He just announced this on his blog: ”The iTunes Music Store recently stopped supporting iTunes versions below 4.7 in an attempt to shut out 3rd party clients. I have reverse engineered the iTMS 4.7 crypto which will once again enable 3rd party clients to communicate with the iTMS.”

In other words, PyMusique should work again. Now it’s Apple’s move.  It’s like watching an extremely slow, but riveting nonetheless, tennis match!
