NeWyAwKa used our news submit to tell us "Face it Apple, you just can"t win. Let us buy our music in peace!" ThunderJon added "Nice try Apple... except not. Did Apple have M$ write the patch or what? ;-)" PyMusique strikes a return blow.
"Less than 48 hours after Apple repelled fair use activists, the iTunes Music Store can be again accessed from any platform, allowing customers to buy music unencumbered by DRM. A new version of PyMusique, 0.3, was released today which circumvented the block that Apple put in place on Monday. PyMusique simply allows users to become iTunes music customers without needing Apple"s Mac and Windows-only iTunes client software, expanding Apple"s customer base. So a PyMusique user can setup an account and pay for music - but not "steal" songs for free. Because Apple only applies DRM at the client, it has the happy bonus that music won"t be unencumbered by DRM and the ever-decreasing freedom that Apple permits. |
Well here we go again. Not much else to say other than fair use has triumphed over restrictive control. I think music should be paid for, but once we get it, leave us alone! Although there are no copyright laws being broken with this client, you are in violation of Apples iTunes terms of service. You can check out the entire article over at The Register.
