- Correction on Zune
-
The main diffrence between Zune DRM and PlaysForSure is that Microsoft paid for the licenses needed for wireless use, as I recall from an interview with Mr. Ballmer. The same agreements were not available to competitors, but I don't know that any competitor wanted to pay license fees for the same functionality.
At any rate, it's not a simple matter of denying a form of DRM to competitors in the market. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 04/17/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
