Breaking FairPlay protection will help Apple competitors
Another "musical" protection hacked. At this time, the hacker’s victim was Apple’s FairPlay system, which allowed iPod owners to listen to files purchased from the Internet only on iTunes.
The 22-year-old Norwegian, who lives in San Francisco, has already managed to be noted in the field of providing users with rights to protected media files. It was he who, at the age of 15, was able to unlock DVD security codes.
At the moment, Apple does not allow you to listen to music purchased from their online store on other systems. The FairPlay system also does not allow listening to iPod files purchased in stores of other companies. According to statistics, iTunes occupies 88% of the US market of legal media files, and 66% of music lovers in this country use iPods.

Experts explain that this “hacking” is essentially just a change in technology that will allow Apple’s competitors to provide their content to iPod owners. In this regard, it is worth noting that Microsoft, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung Electronics announced the creation of their own services for the sale of music.
