Re:DRM Agreement Changed. (Score 1)

For those of you who want to berate Apple for trying to support a Digital Rights Management methodology that is both acceptable to the Movie and Music Industries while also allowing a fairly liberal use of copywrited material, please follow the link below and read the article on the only likely alternative. If you help to kill off Apple's DRM in iTunes and Quicktime, you will be aiding Microsoft in establishing an even more draconian DRM. --We need Apple to succeed with its DRM. Industries, such as Music and Movies need to protect their content from piracy and they will continue to do so. If you allow Apple to fail, those industries will move to even more restrictive DRM technologies, such as Palladium/Windows Media. And Palladium (aka the "Trustworthy Computing Initiative") signals the end of OpenSource, Apple, and competition within the industry.

And before you mention Fair Use...don't. It has already been proven ineffective since it is basically equivalent to the "honor system"...and from all the illegal p2p activity, honor is very much lacking in this world.
