This would be amusing if it was not such as serious matter. After the
MPAA and the RIAA, Apple and Microsoft are amongst the worst offenders
when it comes to digital rights management abuses.
It is interesting to see the comments that have just been made by Steve
Jobs and Bill Gates.
See:
Quote
Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple, has urged the world's largest record
companies to begin selling songs online without security software.
He said the abolition of copy protection software known as digital
rights management (DRM) would be good for consumers and music suppliers.
Copyright protection had failed to tackle piracy, he argued.
