PyMusique

PyMusique lets you purchase music from iTunes on Linux and apparently when the music comes from the server it has no DRM. I just read a News.com story on them and noticed their blog was also on WordPress.

    That kinda makes sense… the DRM is applied by the computer that has the DRM keys on it. That’d simplify a whole lot of things from the server development perspective (by distributing the most CPU intensive task).

    Sounds like they are going to play the cat and mouse game until Apple applies the encryption on the server side. This should be interesting to watch.

    Actually, Apple patched that “vulnerability” yesterday, so it (reportedly) no longer works :(

    Ah, so the new version gets around the initial changes that Apple made to block them. I haven’t tried it yet, but maybe I need to download a copy and put it on my jumpdrive, just for future reference…
