  1. Comment - Apple's Steve Jobs Calls for End of DRM

    (Feb 7, 2007 - 5:58 PM)

    As long as the Big Four music labels and the Digital Rights Mafia insist on infecting their products with DRM, people aren’t going to buy it. People who are willing to go to a little effort will support sites like AllOfMP3.com (which I highly recommend), which sells legal music without DRM. The rest will simply share it online through applications like ShareAza (which is arguably the best Windows file-sharing program).

    Even Steve Jobs has finally realized what many of us knew back when he was pushing it in 2003 — that DRM is a colossal waste of time and money. When the Digital Rights Mafia gives up on their jihad against their customers, maybe they’ll realize it, too. Then we’ll all win.

    Don’t hold your breath.
