    Apple to open up fairplay DRM on iTunes MP3s

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    /edit: And they're not opening it up, they're selling it..

    Digital Rights Management, a way to stop you buying a song online, then dishing it out to all your buddies for free..

    of course, there's always very easy ways round all this, just be better if it wasn't there to start with, but what can ya do..

    A pain in the ass and what ^^^^^ he wrote.

    On a similar topic. Window's activation falls in the same bucket ... what happens when the PC answering the activation request doesn't answer any more in 5yrs time? MS can then control when new installations of XP can be halted ...
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
