Wow....great news!

Now we can legally use songs we buy on itunes for our personal use.

Not have our usage rights chained by Apple.

This guy also did a good service by removing copy protection for DVDs, so we can back-up personal copies.

Yes, such technology can be used for illegal things.

But, it can be used for legal uses as well, just like a VCR.

Jon is a hero for consumer rights.

He won't be releasing it to the general public though, so looks like my proclamation of hero is too quick.

He is doing a good thing, however.
