Real takes another bite of Apple with 'DRM crack'

Silicon.com:

RealNetworks has re-established software compatibility with iPod devices, renewing a technology battle with Apple that dates back to 2004.

Last year, the software firm released a technology that enabled copy-protected songs bought from stores other than Apple's iTunes to play directly on the iPod. The so-called Harmony technology, which independently mimicked the anti-piracy tools used by Apple, was the first of its kind.

RealNetworks chief strategy officer, Richard Wolpert, said: "Harmony now supports all shipping iPods, including iPod Photo."
