Nice of Jobs
Nice of Jobs to plead with the world that DRM is evil and must be gotten rid of. It would mean a whole lot more if Apple didn't sell the most DRM encrusted material, Disney DVDs were released without any protection, and OSX wasn't the only OS that was artificially and onerously tied to Apple's [url=http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006/04/05/mac_security_the_evil_drm.htm] TPM DRM chip. [/url] Typical Jobs: do as I say, not as I do. And the Mac zealots lap it up. Baaaaah. Baaaaah.
