iTunes 7.4.1 already released -- free ringtone workaround is NOT ok

"Just thought we'd let the droves of paranoid upgraders know in on a small bit of good bad news. Yes, Apple did already release a new version of iTunes tonight, 7.4.1, and we tested to see if said update "fixes" the ringtone-renaming hack (if you really want to call it a hack) that lets users supply their own ringtones , well it's over!"

Well, we had to expect this. Apple is probably being forced to do this by the RIAA. The real enemy is DRM, not Apple. I'd expect that AT&T will start pushing Apple to stop the hacks on the iPhone and we will lose our NES emulators, and the like. But for now, I'm glad that Apple has not moved to stop the hacks. Now all we need is for Apple to harness the power of Jazelle and release JVM 6 with Swing support for the iPhone and we'll be in business.
