If you go to Wal-Mart's music store, they state
very plainly that their downloads can only be played on a PC or device that supports WMA and Micrsoft's flavor of DRM. I know that MS was mentioned in the article but it sounds like there may be nothing done about it. I have quit buying from Wal-Mart and recommend others quit as well.

It's no wonder people are pirating music.

It's time to take the profit issue out of IT. It has not produced better technology and is actually thwarting progress.

HEADLINE: Capitalism destroys technology! The greed of a few ruins the benefit of technology for the rest of the world!
