Please stop.
You can't ssh in as root, even if you knew the password.

Tit.

Well, I tried...

I tried to pay for my music, I really did.

I waited till a DRM-less version of Apple's iTunes came out and looked there. Only they don't seem to have much in the way of mostly memorable 80's hits. So I fired up a half decent P2P client and found the song I wanted stright away (Boy Meets Girl's 'Waiting for a star to fall', so you know).

Contary to popular retoric, it was the right file when played, arrived very quickly, and was even at a higher bitrate than Apple would have sold it to me if they could.

Oh well.

Bless the power of a Linux SOCKS5 proxy for Kazzaa Lite Resurrection to work from behind our NAT (by telling the firewall the server running the SOCKS proxy is in the DMZ, if you care).

Bonus points to DVD Jon for unfucking whatever Applie did so quickly.

You'd think Apple would know what they are trying to acheive is impossible. I have the decryption keys and method in my posession (so I can play their music). Trying to stop me using those to decrypt the music I payed for so I can play it in the car isn't going to work - I (well, DVD Jon :-)) can just watch what their iTunes does and work from there.

Protocol tweaking games are so instant messaging a few years back. In the end AOL/ICQ etc. just gave up - it was causing more problems for their customers than it solved, hopefully Apple will see the light too.
