DVD Jon Hacks Apple's iTunes Lock

SAN JOSE (California) - The Norwegian hacker famed for developing DVD encryption-cracking software has apparently struck again - this time breaking the locks on Apple Computer's wireless music streaming technology.

Mr Jon Lech Johansen released on his website - defiantly named So Sue Me - a software key that helps to unlock the encryption Apple uses for its AirPort Express, a device that lets users broadcast digital music from Apple's online iTunes Music Store on a stereo that's not plugged into a computer.
