Just one day after Apple Computer announced a fix to the 'security hole' in itunes, the programmers behind PyMusique on Tuesday announced that they had found a new way around the copy protection in Apple's iTunes. By using the PyMusique utility a customer can purchase songs from the iTunes catalog and store them on their hard drive without any form of copy protection. It also means those audio files can be played an any AAC compatible MP3 player and exported to any number of machines reports PCMag. This software also permitted a re-download of the same songs without making a second payment.

John Lech Johansen on his blog said "The iTunes Music Store recently stopped supporting iTunes versions below 4.7 in an attempt to shut out 3rd party clients. I have reverse engineered the iTMS 4.7 crypto which will once again enable 3rd party clients to communicate with the iTMS."
