PlayFair Shutdown
MacSlash claims that Apple has issued a cease and desist order to Sourceforge regarding the iTunes DRM circumvention software reported earlier in the week.
No independent confirmation is available regarding the exact sequence of events, but the project's website (http://playfair.sourceforge.net/) is no longer available.

You can't stop progress, but you can throw a wrench into the gears to delay it.

Is there anything that Apple can do about a company in India hosting the website?

Nope, no DMCA there.
Also, a nice GUI version is now available.
As a note for anyone who is having problems running the software, your iSight might be causing a conflict.

Everyone needs to realize as much as a mac fan I am and I love Apple, but the iTMS has done nothing truly positive to solve the file sharing issue..
It does nothing really for the Artists...
Here are some great websites so everyone can learn, This such software to remove the DRM are positive things..Read downhill battle's piece on iTunes..
The Music Store is a crock of crap when it comes to treating artists fairly..
Now, artists get around 3% of a 1 dollar sale... And Apple's suggested profit on the song is far more then they hype..
Download this software, hold on to it.. and if you buy from the iTMS, share...

Good it served no purpose anyway. I would much rather have to burn my iTMS music to a disc then rerip it to to share it than have no iTMS at all.

So you suggest that we don't give the artists any money, rather than giving them 3%?

Not at all..
I suggest we continue this battle against the Recording Indsutries and we seek alternative...
I suggest we give the artists 100% or 95%...
Let alone, the report released in the past week showing that Downloading had no affect on CD sales,, so where is the RIAA and CRIA (in Canada) getting their #'s from?>
I think there needs to be an alternative...
Why not, download your favorite album and send the artist 20 bucks in the mail.. a stupid thought, but hey,, the artists who made the creation YOU want.. just got 20 bucks instead of 1.00....
Today, an artists can create a CD from very low costs..
Alternatives are popping up...so why are CD costs rising?
Not at all am I saying that the artists shouldnt get 3%,, I am only saying that iTMS is a crock... and it was a huge media plot hyping it as the saving "heavens" answer to Music...
Look,, there is this huge issue.. and the RIAA and CRIA are saying one thing...
and the artists are actually saying another... besides a few...
And fans are saying another... so it seems there is one party here who is f-ing things up and it's the middle man.. the Record Industry.
