why no itunes? surely that’s the king of incompatible drm?!
Wonderful, well thought and well observe.
And p.s., iPod has a “cute” DRM. Don’t like it? You can fetch programs to get rid of it. Don’t want to go through the hassle? Then do what EVERYBODY with a computer has to do, back up your files on a CD and, voila, no more DRM.
