New Ipod Tweak

A new way has been found to skirt US regulations regarding file sharing using an Ipod.

Like many college students, Jason Sterlacci has a lot of music stored on his computer. Also like many of his peers, he hasn't paid for much of it.

Sitting in his dorm room in Ivory Tower, the senior uses a program called myTunes Redux to browse through nearly 50,000 songs from more than 100 people in his building. Finding a copy of Coldplay's X&Y on "Sean Caffrey's Music," he drags and drops the song list to his own library, downloading the full album in about 30 seconds.

Essentially a hack of a legitimate iTunes service that allows users to see what others are listening to, myTunes Redux allows people using the same broadband circuit, such as the one found in a dorm, to copy songs directly from one another onto their own hard drives. Since it operates in a closed network, it's twice as fast as traditional file-sharing programs - and harder to monitor. It's just one of the new ways students are skirting a growing Recording Industry of America counterinsurgency on illegal music downloading.


I suspect that the program used is this one

Although this one seems to deliver a similar facility

This folks is err..  terrible lawbreaking .... :)
