See where I'm heading?

Yep, I sure can. Right up your own anus. Keep up with the speculation, buddy. It really makes you sound intelligent & informed.

iTunes music could only be played on iPods. Yes, that's a lock-in. So what? If you don't like it, buy the CD. Songs with MS DRM couldn't play on the iPod. Still can't. Irrelevant. If you don't like it, don't buy an iPod. You've got plenty of other options out there, so take your pick. Apple has no need to provide you with the design of your choice. When are you going to understand that?

parvenu74 writes "Arstechnica is running an article pointing out that while some pockets of the entertainment industry are experimenting with DRM-free distribution, Apple Inc, which announced that they have now sold over 2,000,000,000 songs on iTunes, is now the strongest pro-DRM force in digial media. From the article: 'DRM is dying. It's a statement being echoed with increasing frequency around the Web over the last few weeks, and is perhaps best articulated in this Billboard article. But there's a powerful force standing in the way of this DRM-free panacea, and it might not be the one you expect: Apple, Inc.'"
