Johansen Creates DRM-Free Interface to iTunes: Corante > Copyfight > :
PyMusique is an interface to the iTunes Music Store that lets you preview songs, sign up for an account and buy songs. It is somewhat interesting from a DMCA/EUCD perspective. The iTunes Music Store actually sells songs without DRM. While iTunes adds DRM to your purchases, PyMusique does not. Another difference is that signing up for an account using PyMusique does not require you to sign/click away any of your rights.
1. It may not be stealing, but it’s still probably illegal. At the very least, it violates Apple’s terms of service so it certainly within their right to shut out the program in iTunes 4.8. To debate this any further seems unfruitful. To argue that we have some sort of God-given right to bypass the iTunes DRM seems ridiculous (but I don’t think anyone here has done that, yet.)
