copy protection for the weak-spermed

[rone]

I recently heard that Jon "DeCSS" Johansen circumvented iTunes' anti-copying program (in what i find a fairly obvious manner). But the story's from around Thanksgiving. How is it that i didn't hear about this until this week? All of you nerds on my friends list have failed me.

jeez, man, noone flongs anymore. It's all about the RSS.

More conventional news sources where I learned about Jon's iTunes hack, in approximate ascending order of pain induced by reading them:

The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/tonys/slashdot.rdf
Boing Boing: http://boingboing.net/rss.xml
Wired News: http://www.wired.com/news_drop/netcenter/netcenter.rdf
c|net: http://rss.com.com/2547-12-0-20.xml

I'm sure all these have convenient lj feeds, too.
