Apple and Microsoft Have Teamed Up

Thursday 27 December 2007 @ 2:37 am

No seriously they have and in a bad way.

They are currently violating what we here in the US call Freedom of Speech. Have you heard of Digital Rights Management or DRM for short? What you don’t know is that we no longer have control of the music we pay for! Let me go back in time for a moment,

I remember turning on my radio back when it was free, and have an endless variety of music filling up any room I was in. I would then go out and buy that tape and it was mine I could play it until I was ill or until the tape broke.

Then the CD emerged, I knew then and know now that no good has come of it. Because you see we don’t actually “own” our cd’s, Apple and Microsoft do.

Like did you know that if you buy a cd and try to god forbid rip the tracks to play on your (insert mp3 player here) you just might get a nasty error that tells you that you don’t have the “rights” to these tracks. OK so you find a workaround and plead with your computer that you do own them. Then the problem lies in which software you do use which is the second conundrum. If you use Windows Media Player then you probably can’t put these new MP3’s on your shiny new Ipod…

However you say never mind the dang cd’s I get my music online at Itunes! Or Microsoft
