Submission + - Apple to play fairer with Fairplay?
NewbieMonster writes: According to tech.co.uk (http://tinyurl.com/yd7ac9), Apple are preparing to license Fair Play to Made for iPod accessory manufacturers.
They understand that Apple will also allow streaming of protected AAC content via USB.
From the article:
The expected announcements could signal a move on Apple's part to take some of the sting out of its Fairplay DRM which has come in for a great deal of criticism over recent months. It may also be a way of keeping Made For iPod makers onside, as the draw of the Microsoft Zune becomes stronger.
Could this signal a move to allowing other music players to access and play ITMS content?
