Sounds like a nice thought, but I wonder what'll come of it, if anything. The big labels seem to want more restrictive DRM, not less.
I'm pretty much skeptical of anything Apple plans these days. The Intel switch is going just great, with XP's performance on my MBP running circles around 10.4, and they don't seem to want to tell us much of anything about 10.5 at all. Especially not at Macworld, which has become a consumer electronics showcase.
Not to mention that the case on the MBP has the same problems that the aluminum G4 did. They knew about it and didn't do a thing. Just great.
I should have bought a Thinkpad.
First of all, Jobs is getting too much credit for this fight. He's stating what others have already long argued. Secondly, this is a nice PR move to try to take some of the heat off his ass in Europe with his own FairPlay DRM. He's trying to shift the blame onto the record companies.
Fuck the RIAA.
This is what always gets me. The only advantage "legal" music has over pirated downloads is convienience. No searching though shady backwoods pages with NSFW popups and banners etc.Quote:

And all of this goes on top of the glaring fact that DRM doesn't actually protect shit at the end of the day.
And yes, Steve=Jesus if he kills DRM.
He would have to get pwned for our sins first.
