WQTFairUse is a software application first released in November 2003 by Jon Lech Johansen.

Although these resulting raw AAC files were unplayable by most media players at the time of release, they represented the first attempt at circumventing Apple's encryption. These early versions of QTFairUse would save only the "raw" AAC, but later incarnations properly supported full conversions.
