Steve Jobs Asks Record Labels To Abolish DRM
An interesting column written by Steve Jobs to shout out his anti-DRM thoughts! DRM hasn't worked in the past and it won't work in the future. His solution: we got three choices. We can either continue on the path we're on now, license out FairPlay, or destroy DRM once and for all...
Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat.
