These 2 guys:

have been playing back DRM protected iTunes files for years (although I would consider their software only at a hobbyist level). Nevertheless, I know for a fact they are registered Apple developers, so there must be a LEGAL way that Apple is allowing this.

Could it be that all it takes is a small royalty fee for every software copy sold? And that the big boys on the block are just too greedy? Hiding behind the “its Apple, we can’t do anything about it!” excuse?

But you are right, hopefully all this DRM nonsense is going to go away in my lifetime.

Did you see that the folks at Image Line dropped an beta version of Deckadance for the Mac? I couldn’t find the link to download it yesterday, but I kinda liked its first public release back a months ago. They have my sympathy! :)

damn them! they were supposed to send me that! I guess that want to make sure its finished before I expose all the weaknesses here ;-) Way to be on top of things Dudu!

Soon this will end. I think that the best is not to develop tools to play DRMed files, this supports DRM in some distorted way. Best is to not drop any cent on DRMed content.

Down with DRM!!!!! Did you guys know 2 of the founders of djtechtools started CRFTP (communist remixes for the people)? 4 years ago. We were some of the first out spoken opponents to DRM and created a bunch of faux communist posters to “further the cause”. The site is still up although very out dated at crftp.com

I just like that name “algoriddim” — makes me think of Al Gore rapping.

that is freaken hilarious tobamai.
