Return of PlayFair?
p2pnet.net News:- PlayFair might soon be back, says Anand Babu who took over as the project’s maintainer.
“PlayFair project will soon come online,” Babu is quoted as saying in a MacCentral story here.
“We are working on a better version, and we are hosting it outside the U.S.” and a number of groups have come forward to host and mirror PlayFair across the Internet, said Babu, who lives in Tamil Nadu, India.
In the meanwhile, Norway’s Jon Lech Johansen hasn’t mirrored PlayFair because he says among other things, at 05 mb, the PlayFair tarball is way too much.
Hence, “I give you DeDRMS. Tarball is 10 KB. 210 lines of code. Written in C# using MonoDevelop.”

Last week Apple released iTunes 4.5 which included changes to the Music Sharing protocol, as well as a new version of FairPlay DRM.
The changes to the Music Sharing protocol were reverse engineered late last week:
