A Twist in the Tale of DRM
Filed Under Computers & Tech on March 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment
It can certainly be argued that Steve Jobs kicked off a flurry of anti-DRM sentiment with his open letter on music last year. Since then we’ve seen a sharp rise in the availability of DRM free music. All four major labels are now selling music without DRM in some form. However, the letter is not the real reason for the demise of DRM, it was just a catalyst. Steve Jobs is still responsible though, just for two very different reasons. It’s these reasons that have ensured that the last company to benefit from the demise of DRM will be Apple, the very company responsible for causing it!
