Johansen Reenables PyMusique Apple iTunes Hack

Recently, Johansen released a software program, PyMusique, that allowed users to strip DRM from their iTunes, which Apple quickly disabled by releasing a new version of iTunes.

Well, Johansen just updated PyMusique to work with the new version:

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.

Coco asks:

Can this trench war of programming hold up or will Apple reach for legal means this time?
