    Have to agree with most of what he says about DRM and Apple and MS. MS wants DRM forever – they love lock-in.

    DRM is holding back iTunes and Apple from making a fortune as well as the studios themselves. I think Jobs believes that as well. They have no idea of how many Jazz, Classical pieces I would love to get if they weren’t DRM’d. Finding stuff via iTunes would be frictionless for me. The chance to up sell for SACD quality tunes or tier pricing based on mp3 bit rates etc..soooo many opportunities being wasted…and keeping your customers happy to boot.

    As is the case with too many things in society we have laws that interfere with honest people because of the small percentage of criminals..who ignore the laws anyways.
