Apple takes Playfair bullying to India

Playfair is the program that removes the use-restriction wrapper from 
your iTunes Music Store tracks. It used to be hosted on SourceForge, 
but they chickened out when Apple sent them a bullying note demanding 
takedown under the ludicrous and loathesome DMCA. Playfair moved to a 
host in India, which apparently has no such law, but now Apple has 
nastygrammed the Indian hosts too, resulting in another takedown while 
the Indians get some legal advice. Gee, Apple, you really can't buy 
publicity like this. Well, you can. But why would you want to?
