In April, Real Media attempted to make a deal with Apple to allow Real Media files - purchased from the Real Media Music Store - to play on Apple's own iPod. Apple flat-out refused. They liked their monopoly. Well, apparently Real Media does not take "No" for an answer! They announced today that they have cracked Apple's proprietary DRM (Fairplay) and the iPod, so that iPods will soon be able to play RM files easily.
As of now, there is no response from Apple. But I suspect Steve Jobs will not wait long to take Real Media to court. The question is, is it really worth it to spend the money on the lawyers now, when they can just license the technology and make scads of money off of it?
