From the people who brought you DeCSS

[Baron Munchausen]

This seems to say that he's found a way to capture the raw data from the QuickTime player rather than independently broken the encryption. It's the same old problem of trying to control content on a general use computer. I'm sure there will be derivative programs that produce shareable MP3s in short order. And I'm sure he will indeed be sued again over this. If not by Apple then by the company that produces their codecs. Besides breaking into iTunes music, it will also be possible to convert QuickTime movies to any other format you want with this. The people who own those codecs will not be pleased. They get a cut from the sites that show QT movie trailers & such.
