DEL.ICIO.USSteve Jobs speaks out
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m all for getting rid of the draconian Digital Rights Management system that can turn buying music for an MP3 player into a nightmare.
So I agree with Steve Jobs. You can read what he has to say here.
I hope he makes the first move by making it easier to use tunes from iTunes on other players.
This guy - quoted in the AP article - may have an axe to grind but what he says still sounds convincing:
Jobs “could open that platform up tomorrow if he really wanted to,” insisted Mike Bebel, chief executive of Ruckus Networks, a Herndon, Va., service that offers more than 2.5 million DRM-protected song titles to college students. “It’s great PR (for Jobs) and a nice way to turn the tables, but it’s not really working toward a solution.”
Look whether Jobs is an saint or a devil, he’s sure right when he says DRM has to go.
