STEVE JOBS COMMENTS ON DRM
DRM is a household name nowadays with it being stuffed down our throats when we download digital music.
Steve Jobs has commented on DRM in a column he wrote that is posted on the Apple.ca (and Apple.com) website and it proves to be an interesting read.
Basically Steve says that he doesn't like DRM but no matter how much he dislikes it if we want digital downloads we will have DRM.
He also goes on to say that the whole reason that DRM is out there in the first place is to protect CD sales of the same music.
Kind of stupid when you think about it. Why would the music industry want to stop sales of it's own music? I'll tell you why. They are making a killing off CDs.
Post your thoughts.
