QTFairUse dumps the raw output of a QuickTime AAC stream to a file, bypassing the digital rights management (DRM) algorithm used to encrypt music content of media files such as those distributed by the iTunes Store.  To accomplish this task it waits for iTunes to play back the protected file and intercepts the unencrypted AAC data stream as it is sent to the sound card. During this process, it copies unencrypted data, frame-by-frame, into RAM and then inserts it into a new MP4 container that is free of any DRM.

The current release of QTFairUse6, version 6-2.5, supports iTunes 6.0.2 through 7.5.0. The config file needs to be updated with each new iTunes release. So far the author has released updates the same day as the new iTunes release.
