aaron: all iTunes files haven't yet been cracked. AAC protected files have been for a quite a while (so you no longer have to burn and rip tracks to gain access).
This however is a work around with the application recording the output and then creating a new file. This is NOT the crack we all desire. It is just a step above taking a video camera and filming your screen. I can't speak to the specifics of the technology, but I'm in the camp if it hasn't been cracked yet (which it's going on a few years now), it probably will not be hacked in the nearterm.
