Engadget reports that Jon Johansen, aka "DVD Jon," has developed a method for buying songs from the iTunes Music Store that prevents Apple's FairPlay DRM from being implanted. The key to Jon's latest hack is PyMusique, which apparently gives the user complete freedom to do whatever he or she wishes with their music. Here's a quote: Seems that "XXX" discovered that when you buy something from the iTMS, the DRM is only added to the tracks after you’ve purchased and downloaded them, which sort of makes sense since they do need to be tagged to your account. You’ll still have to actually pay for the music, but PyMusique conveniently neglects to wrap the file with any copy protection, which means you’re free to do what you want with the unrestricted file, including copying it to multiple machines or sharing it over P2P. The currently available download is a tarball and appears to be Win32 compatible (only). Editor's note: Wonder if this stunt will land DVD Jon in the click? It's certainly his most-audacious hack to date... What's your take?
