FairPlay is bad for everyone besides Apple

by Volker Weber

Apple would, if it could, drop the FairPlay DRM from tracks purchased at the Music Store. Right? Wrong!

Comments

This article really nails it. Apple only uses DRM to keep people locked into it's proprietary system. Granted, I still think the iPod is the best music player out there, but with things like PlayFair and Hymn out there, I can remove any copy protection and use any player I want. I should be able to play my music whereever I want without restriction!

I explain difficult concepts in simple ways. For free, and for money. Clue procurement and bullshit detection.
