DVD Jon unlocks iTunes' locked music

An application called MyTunes already performs much the same function, but Johansen's is open source. He therefore unveils the DLL entry point, and the exit hole. So let the fun and games commence: until OS vendors bring in portions of the 'trusted' architecture which Intel is building, such illuminating capers (such Great Deeds) are possible. (This isn't, as we foolishly thought earlier, the analog hole: the software isn't capturing the output of the sound card - it intercepts QuickTime playback before it has a chance to be 0wn3d (or however you spell it), by Hollywood. But it sets up an interesting confrontation.

Very interesting article. I'm not sure I fully understand this, but it looks like you can get unencrypted versions of iTunes downloads. I assume you get compressed sound quality, can't get around that one. Seems only fair, since you get such when you buy a CD.
