As has been previously reported, Apple’s iTunes 4.7
disabled the functionality of the very handy iPod Download utility, which keeps popping up for download
all over the ‘net despite Apple’s attempts to squash it.
Thank the French for bringing iPod Download back
to life! It appears the code used to disable this specific utility can be overcome by simply forgetting how to
spell :)
this 
becomes this
(look closely…)

Apple haven't been attempting to "squash it", regardless of popular rumor. If Apple did want to squash it then they would have done by now. The fact that they just hid the music on the iPods means that they aren't that bothered, but it stops the average user file sharing easily. Other stand alone download utilities still work, its just they they tweaked the code, and that code tweak/rewrite left iPoddownloand unable to be used.
Thats all.
