I read an article on CNN this morning, titled Hacker claims to have cracked iPod restrictions and in it, they state this "Today, songs purchased from Apple's online iTunes Music Store can't be played on portable devices made by other companies. Songs purchased from many other online music stores also won't work on iPods because they similarly use a form of copy-protection that Apple doesn't support". Well, that is so not true.
I had an iPod and we had over 1000 songs on our PC where we downloaded from another source other than iTunes and they all played just fine on my iPod. I mean, people are praising this guy for being a Hacker. I thought hacking was illegal? Yes, that's great for him but I doubt I'd be announcing it to the world.
Also, it states, "managing director Monique Farantzos states that an unnamed client will soon use the technology so its copy-protected content will be playable on iPods, she said, declining to give any specifics".
They complain about people file sharing, but yet they are supporting a hacker...go figure.
