So I downloaded this SharpMusique application to give it a shot as an iTunes interface. Turns out it’s the application written by DVD Jon famous for breaking DVD CSS encryption and later cracking through the Apple iTunes DRM.
So every song I buy from iTunes on SharpMusique lands on my hard drive in a DRM free file that I can play on all my computers and burn to as many CDs as I want, no hassles.
So neither Sony’s nor Apple’s DRM affects me. It appears that we can add “DRM-free” to Linux’s strengths on the desktop.
