allofmp3.com: MusicForMasses cracked!
less than a week after allofmp3.com has released their whole catalogue in a free offering called “MusicForMasses”, the DRM-system in use - preventing the 128kbit mp3’s from being played on mobile players or outside the MusicForMasses Windows-software - already has been cracked. downloadsquad links to MusicForMe, the utitlity used to remove the copy-protection by “dumping the mp3 files from memory after MusicForMasses has already decrypted it”. when trying out, please keep in mind that using MusicForMe is most probably illegal in your country, as well as allofmp3’s service itself!
update: apparently, allofmp3 has updated and distributed their DRM through an enforced upgrade of their MusicForMasses-player, rendering MusicForMe useless - for now!
Well…same old story : in the battle between the shield and the sword, the sword always win !
agreed, but since allofmp3 is virtually out of business (as in “making money buy [illegally] selling music for small money”) I guess they could care less about their DRM being cracked :)…
my bet is that allofmp3 & musicformasses will be history soon. sure, they could inject audio-advertising into the music, but which company would be willing to advertise on such service?
btw. nice to see visitors from mybloglog.com!
