iTunes - Playback Restrictions Cracked?

[G-Unot]

What angers me about DRM is that people who PAY for music get LESS rights, while people who STEAL music get MORE.

Oh and getting Napster next week! =] =] =]

People who steal records have no rights at all. But I know what you mean.

And for those of you who obviously don't know, you can easily transfer music obtained from another source onto iTunes, thus being able to put it on your iPod.

I bought some songs from itunes today, ahh well.

I reckon they put it there to try and monopolise the legal music download industy, since they made a poduct thet they knew would probably be popular and then made it so people could only use them in the future. Apple would have been thinking "If people buy all their music thrugh iTunes, then we will make even more money since they will then have to keep buying iPods to make use of it $$$"

Also who's to say that man has no life?

Don't blame it on Apple though, other music stores do the same, so music bought from there doesnt work on iPods.

how does that mean you shouldn't blame apple? apple is still just as much to blame for limiting consumer rights with DRM. The fact there not the only one to blame, doesnt lesson the blame on them "/

Its the same thing as the TV's that wont let you change channel or fast forward dureing adverts, or the DVD's that dont play on computers "/

i disagree..

apple came up with their own format to work on the iPod right? they made the iPod so that only that format would work. so how is it other company's fault? mp3 and wma format are widely used, and if Apple doesnt allow it to work, its Apple's fault.
