RealAudio, anytime, anywhere

RealAudio's not safe anymore. Christopher Jones's recent Wired News article discusses the new anti-encryption software from Streambox. "Alongside MP3, RealAudio [files are] the most widespread format on the Net for music listening"--but they're not always free. The article explains how Streambox hacks around the the security code in RealAudio files, Streambox's rational behind the software, and the unusual legal concerns surrounding the whole issue. Definitely a cause for celebration for digital liberationists the world over. Christy Stabin
