Hacker Break Applke iTunes Code…Again !

Associated Press has reported that the Norwegian hacker famous for developing DVD encryption-cracking software has struck again — this time breaking the key to Apple Computer’s wireless music streaming technology. Jon Lech Johansen released on his web site called “So Sue Me” a software key that helps to unlock the encryption Apple uses for its AirPort Express, a device that lets users broadcast digital music from Apple’s online iTunes Music Store on a stereo that’s not plugged into a computer.

According to AP some security experts say that with the key and another program he released, Johansen, has helped pave the way for software applications other than Apple iTunes to work with AirPort Express. His latest endeavors mark the third instance that he’s circumvented Apple’s music copy-protection technologies this year.
