Nintendork Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Apparently it's been done. I don't give a rat's arse whether it's legal or not.. because I paid for it and don't have the money for an iPod. What's the story? Can I do this on my Mac yet or is the applet just windows thus far? Jon Lech Johansen is responsible. If you have iMovie HD then you can use this (I don't because I installed fresh Tiger so didn't get iLife and I cba to buy it) http://seidai.50webs.com/Seidai%20Software.html (Mac)
Charlie Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 There's a Mac app that can do this as well, I don't have a clue what its called though. You can just burn it to a CD then rip it off again and the DRM is then MiA.
Jon Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 This is ancient, its called fairgame. Decent idea, poor implementation.
James Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Well I couldn't get fairgame to work, would be nice if it did, because the thought of ripping CD's and burning them back onto iTunes kills me.
McPhee Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Its been around for years, and yes it is legal. Jon Lech Johansen started up his own company and is currently in the process of selling his software to iPod competitors. Apple is going nuts, but theres not a great deal they can do to stop him, theyve been trying since he first made the software in 2003! Not sure whats on that link you posted though, JLJ's software is called QTFairUse not FairGame and his company is DoubleTwist not Seidai Software.

The problem with fairgame is that it only allows on track to be stripped at a time, even that takes about 4 mins.
Emasher Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 srry if already posted the easiest way to unprotect your iTunes purchases is to burn them to cd and then re-import them from the cd
McPhee Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 srry if already posted the easiest way to unprotect your iTunes purchases is to burn them to cd and then re-import them from the cd that still works? not done it for years, figured Apple would have put an end to it by now...
Emasher Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 my dad is an expert on anything apple (though i have tought him a few things about keynote) any way he said that yesterday so i guess it still works.
