DVD Jon clobbers DRM again

by jeremy . Original by Lionel - 21/02/2008 14:50:17 CET
DVD Jon, who acquired his "title of nobility" by bypassing the protections of DVDs, has also taken on, on several occasions, iTunes and its FairPlay DRM.
He has returned to the battlefield with his company DoubleTwist, and proposes a universal file-exchange solution for all platforms: computers, mp3 players, mobile phones.
The ultimate goal is to free users from the constraints inherent in these devices and create perfect interoperability.
His software is already available on the PC and detects iTunes Mp4 protected files , cleaning them of any DRM.
Just as this situation could have posed great problems to Apple just a year ago, the trend to do away with DRM minimises the impact of such news. The software DVD Jon once again proves that no protection is foolproof. This new move could help Apple convince the majors to abandon once and for all DRM protections.
An OS X version is planned, as well as support for iPod and iPhone.
