| Bill Gates is knocking itunes when he says ripping CDs better than DRM. The Irony is his products (Zune, I am looking at you)has some of the most draconian DRM in the business. My guess is this is just another attempt by MS to control the market and have vendor lock in to one of their formats. MS is edging around to stating that DRM is broken and only we can fix it; so, the industry should use our DRM standard. This in another attempt by MS to screw Zune's competition especially the ipod. |

| One must remember that it isn't MS controlling the DRM policies on content from the RIAA/MPAA, it's those organizations themselves. I believe even Steve Jobs said something a while back about the music industry being stupid trying to implement DRM that will just end up being circumvented anyway.

It is the music companies that force Apple and Microsoft to put DRM on their music download services. Both would prefer to sell music w/o DRM. That way they could sell more music and more hardware players.
