MP3tunes.com CEO Michael Robertson (best known for previous ventures including Lindows and MP3.com) is being coy about the details, but
he's not too shy to boast about his latest hire: "DVD Jon" Johansen,
the man behind DeCSS and recent
Wall Street Journal cover boy.
According to Robertson, Johansen will be working on a new project that
will "bring digital music into the 21st century." Johansen isn't quite
as bashful: "I have no idea what I'll be doing, but I know it will be
reverse engineering, and I'm sure it will be interesting," he told
Wired News. MP3tunes.com sells DRM-free music files, mostly from
obscure independent artists.
