Praise the lord--and pass the holy iPod case

TUAW reader Bernard found this Hymn Book iPod case via Aquire, the "gear guide for men". I'm guessing that the idea behind it is to create a pious fascade as you're watching game highlights during worship services. I don't mean to be the wet rag and destroy anyone's fun, but you can still see the white earbuds even when using this camouflage device. They're kind of a giveaway. Unfortunately, the post did not give the name of a manufacturer or any cost or ordering information.

The cover has no connection as far as I can tell to the anti-DRM Hymn project.

Breaking the Law: Stripping DRM from iTMS-purchased songs

jhymnI haven't raised everyone's ire with an anti-DRM rant in a while, so I thought I'd share this bit.

Here's the warning:
according to the DMCA circumventing the DRM in your iTMS tracks is illegal; however, as the DRM contravenes existing fair use laws in the first place, the DRM itself is illegal. Plus, if you are not pirating music, and you are simply trying to, say, grab a sound byte from a track you bought off of the iTMS to place in Garageband and feature in your podcast, and the RIAA happens to find out and actually bother to sue you....well, you can always point out to the judge that you could have simply burnt the song to CD and then re-ripped the songs without breaking any laws, and hopefully he/she will have the sense to throw the case out and fine the RIAA for wasting his/her time. //end warning

Step 1: Download JHymn.
Step 2: Run JHymn and drag any songs you want stripped of DRM into its interface.
Step 3: Enjoy DRM free music.

Reminder: Don't pirate music.
