The All Important Music

So I'm new to all this Linux stuff and I'm doing pretty well so far (thanks Stan Finley) but I do have a question:

At this point, do I have any options to play my DRMed iTunes purchases in FC5? Songbird looks promising, but thats clearly still down the line, and besides the fact that I haven't found it to play my iTunes songs, Banshee just seems pretty unstable.

Remove it http://www.hymn-project.org/jhymndoc/
No, that would be illegal. I would buy Cross Over Office, (38$, but it's used to pay partially for the software and also for programmers who make patches for Wine - It's a free windows emulator available in Fedora Extras - so it comes back to you anyways) and it can install iTunes for you.

I think it is legal to remove DRM under fair use rules for pretty much everywhere appart from the USA because of the DCMA... if your not in the US I'm pretty sure it'd be legal... if only you bought your music from somewhere like allofmp3.com (still technically legal in Russia and the UK) you never would have this problem

this is why god invented peer to peer

Frustrating, but gave me some things to consider. Thanks everyone.

Fustrating is right - DRM is plain and simply C.R.A.P. according to ZDNet executive editor David Berlind
