Jobs stole my philosophy on DRM

Jobs on February 6, 2007:

"Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in
open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music
purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on
all players."

Dale, in microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player on February 2, 2007:

"That is what needs to happen with DRM. There needs to be one standard.
Any
licensed media from any authorized source can, within the usage rights
assigned to that media, be played in any player capable of playing protected
media. When that happens, I will support DRM for music files."

Pretty hypocritical statement from someone who makes a lot of money because
of DRM. I agree 100% with the statement. Too bad he doesn't practice what he
preaches.

I'm just hoping to see Apple donate the profits they get from their own
99 cent site...

But that's what they wanted you to want in the first place.
