They're right, even if they did express it in a clumsy fashion: the data you get from QTFairUse is raw AAC, not in any container (OGG, QuickTime, whatever) that player apps recognise -- so additional, quite possibly not-yet-available, software is required to make use of the results.
The VLC stuff is more interesting anyway. That's not a "crack" in the sense of providing a completely unencumbered copy, but it does allow playback of protected files on unsupported systems. Which strikes me as being the better, more easily-defendable-without-being-Andrew-Orlowski thing.
