Apple has sent a DMCA camplaint to SourceForge.net, a very popular open source development site, asking the site to remove immediately the PlayFair software from their site.
PlayFair, as we reported couple of days ago, uses a so-called "analog hole" in order to make DRM-free copies of purchased iTunes tracks.
Apple complained to SourceForge that the software was in violation of DMCA's section 1201(a)(2) that makes it illegal to distribute tools that allow circumventing copy protection mechanism.
