"So Sue Me." 😛

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- "DVD Jon," the man who cracked the code that keeps DVDs from being copied, has done it again.

Norwegian hacker Jon Johansen says he has broken the electronic locks on Apple Computer's wireless music streaming technology, known as AirPort Express.

Johansen has released a software key that lets users broadcast digital music from Apple's online iTunes Music Store to a stereo that isn't plugged into a computer.

He also created a way for people to stream music to an AirPort Express base station without using Apple's iTunes software.

AirPort Express came out earlier this year.

It's the third time he has managed a work-around to Apple's music copy-protection technologies.

His latest creation is posted on his Web site, which is named "So Sue Me."

Last year, a Norwegian court ruled that Johansen could not be prosecuted for breaking the DVD codes.

Fair Use should be common sense, but sadly isn't most of the time. If you pay to download something, you should be able to shuttle that item around anywhere you want to.
 
Heh. Jobs probably has a dart board with this dudes face on it. And he's probably on a "most wanted" list hung up in Apple break rooms 😛

This guy is a f'ing crook. The first time it was innocent now he's definitely a liability. Throw him in jail. Take his computer away from him.
He's not allowing anyone to steal anything with this newest crack. RTFA. :roll:

1. He's a crook because of his DVD regional cracking
2. He's a liability because he continues to flippiantly crack I.P.
 
Heh. Did anyone else misread the name of the news site as "thekrachannel". I thought it was going to point me to a site dedicated to cracking 😛
