Jon Johansen Interview

Jon Lech Johansen, aka DVDJon, the co-creator of PyMusique and SharpMusique, has granted an interview to Slyck.com. He discusses cracking the DVD
encryption and his stance on DRM, noting that he's trying to return balance to copyright during a time when the labels are pushing for more power than necessary with threats of doom: "People who claim that the iTMS DRM is a 'good compromise' have naively bought into the impending doom propaganda."

He also notes that he hasn't heard anything from Apple legal about PyMusique / SharpMusique and that he is committed to continuing to keep them working should Apple again plug their holes; although
he acknowledges that it is a labor of love that he conducts in his spare time "and I make no money off it so I'm not going to drop everything else I'm doing whenever Apple changes their protocol or formats, but I'll get to it eventually."

Whether you are anti-DRM or a blind fool pro-DRM, you will find the interview interesting.  Check it out.
