So its ok to have proprietary WMPs than?
So how about this, Microsoft's proprietary WMP files can't be played on iPods. Who is suing the big M over that? Even the unlocked ones can not play as Microsoft has a proprietary DRM like codec. So who's the bad guy here? Besides, the DRM was a result of the RIAA making it a condition of selling on-line music, they all are DRMed, walmart, kmart, sony, napster (end the subscription and end your play). I rather have the iTunes MP4s that sound better and use iTunes to burn an audio CD. You can always import the audio CD to unlocked MP3 if you want, so what is the point of your argument?
