p2pnet.net News:- You have to laugh.

Apple’s iMovie will strip Apple’s dodgy FairPlay DRM stuff from iTunes songs, says Germany’s Macnews.de, as reported on MacNN here.

Apple’s very own software can create unprotected song files that can be played on any computer without recompression, circumventing iTunes’ DRM protection, says Macnews.de.

“iMovie users can use the ‘Share’ feature of iMovie to export any imported (protected) song from the iTunes Music Store,” it states. “The exported songs can either be stored in the un-protected AAC file format (used by Apple at the iTMS) or in the raw WAV file format; both of these formats are supported by iTunes.”

Apple tried to hammer open source Hymn created specifically so people who’d spent a dollar per track ‘buying’ shrink-wrapped Big Music songs from iTunes could play them on anything, anywhere.

Back to the crack, Google’s excellent translation program explains it thus:

“So far users, who ‘entschuetzen’ in iTunes Music net curtain bought Songs wanted, had too of Apple judicially pursued Hackertools like ‘Hymn’ seize - or a Song by iTunes on CD to burn and him afterwards again import. How macnews.de determined now, there is also a clearly simpler method to make AAC files with Apples FairPlay copy protection too freely copy and further usable files.

“The solution is at the same time Apple sanctioned - one uses alone on-board means. The ‘copy protection breaker” of the choice is called iMovie thereby, Apples amateur cut program, a component the each Macs is. With the current version 4.0.1 each iTunes Music net curtain purchase can be imported by dragee & drop or audio menu into a film. So far, so normally: Apple would like that users can of iMovie Songs in their amateur strips, also bought, use, finally it paid. (also iPhoto accepts protected AAC files.) However Apple did not consider obviously that one can export films such as clay/tone material problem-free out iMovie - with the ‘Senden’ feature (Share), which hides itself under ‘to file’. Who selects ‘QuickTime’ and ‘own attitudes’ there, becomes FairPlay more ‘Hacker already’: Click on sending promotes numerous export possibility to day. So one can store its Song directly as unprotected WAV or AIFF or also, which is substantially more practical, directly as compressed AAC (film - > QuickTime film, video to vote out, audio compression Mpeg-4). The result is written afterwards as QuickTime ‘Film’ on the non removable disk, can be played however problem-free with iTunes - linkage of application is afterwards alterable over Apfel+I. Result: iTunes Music net curtain Songs are with on-board means to entschuetzen - even if the quality naturally suffers by the transformation. The latter is however better, as if one notes a protected title over Tools such as audio Hijack pro ’similarly’ again or the CD burn trick (see above) used.”

There you go - heh
