A 22-year-old hacker, John Lech Johansen, in California has claimed that he has cracked Apple’s copy-protection mechanism and will license his code to others.
The code will allow users to play tunes downloaded from Apple’s online iTunes music store, on PMPs manufactured by other companies and songs purchased from other music stores can also be played on iPod.
This move can also make the young hacker face Apple’s lawyers, but Johansen said that he has got a green signal from the attorneys.
Apple has not yet commented or filed a suit against Johansen.
