| The trio of developers who created PyMusique have found yet another way for their software application to purchase copy-protection free songs from the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), following Apple recent security fix counter that prevented access by third-party applications. The PyMusique application allows LInux/Windows users to register for, browse, and purchase iTunes music--much like the iTunes application; however, the songs are free from any anti-piracy protections. Apple's iTunes encodes these songs using its FairPlay DRM to prevent users from playing the songs on more than five authorized computers. Apple on Monday claimed to have closed the security hole, and also said that access would only be allowed through the iTunes 4.7 client. The programmers, however, claim to have successfully reverse engineered the encryption in iTunes 4.7 and released a new version of PyMusique (for Linux only) that allows users to once again browse the iTMS and purchase DRM-free music.
