Jon Johansen Breaks iTunes DRM Yet Again 1286
ikewillis writes "Remember earlier today when Apple released an update supposedly blocking the hole in iTMS recently discovered by Jon Johansen? News.com reports that he has already worked around the update, and iTMS can now be accessed from non-Windows/MacOS X systems using the new version of his PyMusique software. You can view his blog entry on the issue (ironically titled So Sue Me). More power to you, Jon!"

If you actually read the parent post in full and thought about it for a moment, you'd know that he supposed that the private key were reverse-engineered out of iTunes -- not exactly a hard thing to do, given that it's necessarily included in every copy.
Ok- now I see what kind of a moron I am dealing with.
One bad thing about ad hominems -- they tend to backfire.

MTV has obtained exclusive contracts such that certain music videos could only be found on MTV.
MTV still plays videos?

It's just that "Jon" is, like, a 25% optimization over "John", with the same information content! (Maybe a 33.333% improvment, depending on your point of reference)
