PyMusique Makers want to Help Apple

Remember
PyMusique? The method that lets you purchase tracks from the iTunes Music Store without having to deal with all that messy DRM?  And the one that goes against the EULA that you agree to when you sign up for an iTunes Music Store account? Yes, that's the one.

Forbes has an article featuring Cody
Brocious (which is a great name) the 17 year old who with Jon Johansen's help created PyMusique. He assures Forbes that he just wanted to download tunes from his Linux computer, and had no idea that the DRM was applied to the track via the client (iTunes) rather than at the server level. He thought no harm, no foul.  Apple gets the money, and he gets his tracks. He just wanted to help Apple since there is no iTunes client for Linux.

Of course that doesn't explain why Jon released a Windows version, since we all know there is a Windows version of iTunes.
