Good, DRM is stupid, very stupid. I don't want to rent content, I want to own it and do what I want with it.

It's kind of a dumb concept, too. If they want it to play in a stand-alone cd player, it is stupid to encrypt it because it cannot be advanced encryption otherwise the player won't have the processing power to decrypt it fast enough. Since its not powerful encryption, it can be easily broken.

Steve has made plenty of mistakes and has not "gotten it" several times (steve was against networking computers, NeXT, etc.). Read Accidental Empires.

I'd be happy enough with his hit rate. Are you for DRM Tyrone?
