Now it appears, much to the chagrin of e-authors and digital book publishers, Apple's DRM has been cracked. The news comes from a forum post on MobileRead by user pdurrant. Of course I cannot condone cracking copyrighted content, but the predicament for Apple is interesting.

For now, Fair Play will continue. Should Apple push harder for music companies, film and television studios, and book publishers to go DRM-free? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. According to a forum post on MobileRead, Apple's iBooks Fair Play DRM has been cracked by hacker "Brahms" and his Requiem 3.3 software.

That's because everything sold through the iBookstore has Apple's Fair Play digital rights management (DRM) software protecting it.

I never considered there are people in the world who would pay for the privilege of having "Sent from my iPad" or "Sent from my iPhone" at the end of their messages. According to the Financial Times, some Chinese consumers are paying around $1 per month to have the phrase "Sent from my iPhone" tagged onto their messages sent through the popular QQ instant messaging service. The iPhone signature service requires that the consumers hand over their QQ usernames and passwords to merchants who then hack the accounts to add the iPhone tag.
