On: The End of Headphone Jacks, the Rise of DRM

[astrodust]

Apple waged a war against DRM on MP3 files and won. They tried to do the same with movies and haven't prevailed yet, so we're stuck with DRM on those. It sucks.

Blame the MPAA here. Apple would rather have it DRM free. It's better for consumers, it's better for their sales.

Apples war on DRM was when Steve Jobs was alive, now he isn't who knows if the policy will remain.
