If the media carried a watermarking code that was durable enough to withstand copying and most removal attacks while still identifying the source user, most people would be unwilling to share their media lest they be sued for copyright infringement.Ĭopyright law has been another issue that’s been complicating the use of DRM. Since there is no reasonable way to prevent this kind of attack on DRM, it seems it would be more beneficial to be able to detect if the attack had been performed and pursue the individual in question.
The bottom line is that for human senses to perceive the media in question, it has to be in an analog format with no protection at some point in the playback. In addition to stripping the DRM from songs, it allows users, through a Facebook application, to share songs with their friends.Ĭircumventing FairPlay in this manner arose due to the “Analog hole” that exists for most media in existence today. DoubleTwist is designed to defeat Apple’s FairPlay DRM by playing the track’s in fast forward and capturing the analog signal as it leaves the sound card. Jon Johansen (known for his work in defeating CSS in DVDs) has recently released an application known as DoubleTwist.
