I'm no expert on the subject, but I think that some of the arguments against Apple's DRM stem from the fact that Fair Play is a closed system. I can see how this might have ramifications for the industry, and for developers. But as a consumer, I'm not sure why it's bad for me. Especially given how easy it is to manage your files within Fair Play's framework. I agree with your points J.Love.

Love Sun, 14 Jan 2007 23:21:03 +0000 http://www.maunderlust.com/attack-of-the-drm-monster/#comment-5 I was so irked by the the tone of the article, and it's inability to recognize the previous entrant's arguments, that I had to write to you. This Chicken Little, "The sky is falling!" attitude about Apple's method of DRM and their decision to implement it is so pathetic. It is brain-dead easy to work around it. There are even iPod reverse-sync applications readily available for download. I just can't understand what all this crying is about. My god, haven't you paid any attention to the draconian way in which the RIAA chases down little boys and girls like some just released pedophile? It is important that Apple and others like Apple attempt to pacify the monolithic recording industry as it slides down the cliff and into the ocean. Furthermore, how can a website that relishes the win of the hacker and thwarter of all things like DRM not step up and argue this point, but instead rely on someone like me to do it for them.
