		Cody and co. are apparently very near an implementation of a utility that will allow people to turn songs acquired through Napster Light (the a la carte service) and Premium (the non-portable subscription service) into unencrypted files.
		Cody acknowledged other ways they could change the way they encrypt the content, but he believes these changes would be trivial to circumvent, assuming they do successfully implement the utility they are currently working on.
		Cody sees his actions as "ethical," irrespective of legality, and he is willing to "fight the DMCA." He wants to be able to play his lawfully acquired Napster music on Linux.

	BetaONE - Exclusive -PyMusique Creator : Napster DRM Cracked (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Neowin previously reported on the work done by Cody Brocious to get iTunes working on Linux; in a soon to be released updated version, Cody and his group have announced plans to support the Napster Music Store as well.
		Amazingly, Brocious says the DRM crack could be applied to other stores (MSN Music, Napster, Wall mart) using the WMA file format; "we would have to figure out how to get their license keys, which is a relatively trivial process".
		Brocious expects the new version to be released in the coming days.

		But in an interview, Brocious said his team has found a way that essentially lets them take the digital rights management (DRM) off the files, using a 2001 hacker's crack of Microsoft's rights management system.
		The upshot is that Brocious and his team think they can take the DRM off a Napster purchase, so it can be played on a Linux or Macintosh computer.
		Brocious said that once they do finish the de-DRMing tool, it will be released separately from Musik.

		In an interview late Friday, one of the program's creators, 17-year-old Pennsylvania high school student Cody Brocious, said the ability to save songs without copy protection was essentially an accident derived from the way Apple's system downloads songs.
		Brocious, who has left his most recent development on the software to another programmer, said he hasn't been contacted by Apple and hasn't talked to a lawyer.
		Johansen said that two other programmers, Travis Watkins and Brocious, had done much of the work on the Linux software, while he had developed the Windows version.

		The flash drives will be provided to students, aid workers, and small business entrepreneurs among others in need of a quick and easy means to store and share information.
		Cody says that they weren't originally setting out to create an interface for the iTunes Music Store that let you buy songs without any DRM—it was simply a pleasant side effect of creating an interface for Linux users.

	Billboard PostPlay: Napster DRM Hacked
		This first release version of the Musik framework (which is the successor to pymusique written by Cody Brocious - a 17 year old high school student from Pennsylvania- Alex Goodwin and Travis Watkins) for online music store clients is now available to download for free.
		Apparently, the team have formulated a method for removing the DRM on WMA files allowing them to play on non-Windows systems and the crack's origins are credited to Beale Screamer's code which was released in late 2001.
		After the file is purchased, the utility basically removes the DRM on each song - allowing unrestricted use of the file...The result is that Musik framework will allow people to turn songs legally acquired through the a la carte Napster Light and Premium (the non-portable subscription service) into unencrypted files.

		It has two features which made it remarkable: It allowed you to re-download songs without having to pay for them again, and it downloaded songs without encrypting them using FairPlay, Apple's Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology--songs bought using PyMusique could be played back by any computer or portable device capable of recognize AAC-formatted files.
		Meanwhile, Neowin has caught up with Cody Brocious, one of the coders behind the PyMusique software.
		Cody seems pretty responsive to contact from people on the net, I wonder if we could get an interview.

		So Jon Johansen, Cody Brocious, and crew (Johansen is the Norwegian who cracked the encryption on DVDs several years ago) created PyMusique —; software that lets you access iTunes, pay for music, and download it without the built-in digital rights management (DRM) restrictions.
		Apple responded by closing the "hole" PyMusique exploited, and requiring all iTunes users to upgrade to the latest version of the software.

		Users can also redownload songs that were previously purchased using the utility.
		PyMusique, which Johansen and fellow programmers Travis Watkins and Cody Brocious call the "fair interface" to the Apple Music Store, is currently at a 0.3 version revision.
		The Windows version requires the Gtk+/Win32 runtime environment to operate, while the Linux version requires several Python-specific dependencies.

		Previously Cody stated to Forbes.com that the striping of Apple's FairPlay DRM was unintentional, and that all he was trying to do was create a Linux application to buy iTunes music tracks through — guess we know now he was full of Crap.
