This kid is a genius. When he was 15, he cracked the copy protection on DVDs, allowing millions of people to make backups and share DVDs around the world. Now, at 22, he’s cracked the Fairplay code that Apple have been using to try to preserve their monopolistic position in the music player market… it’s even better than an anti-trust suit against them!
You have to wonder what drives this kid… but you can be sure that it’s not the money!
Great work, DVD Jon!!! For the full story, have a look here…

Hey, cool post. My son and I were discussing this the other day, and he had some weird ideas! lol Are you going to extend this? I would love to learn more
I’ve enjoyed Apple for sometime, they produce products that is aesthetically beautiful while working like a everytime I use it. That can’t be said about alot of companies, it’s typically one or the other. Companies don’t usually take aesthetics seriously like Apple. With that said I’ve got to say that I’m anxious about the new Tablet. One thing I question though, is it too soon? I think that this product may be ahead of its time. What do you think?
Maybe – it’ll be interesting to see how it’s received by the market.
Things are changing fast, so I wonder whether Apple – as great as it is right now – might get left behind when the next disruptor comes along… maybe even Microsoft with it’s 7 Series. Good luck to them though!
Seems that the iPad has been pretty well received so far…
