Re: DRM should be scrapped, says Steve Jobs.
The fact is with a DRM'd iTune you just burn it to CD in CD format and then rip the CD. I guess you will lose some quality in the decode - encode (there is a word for this), but essentially iTunes DRM is broken with a CD and about 20 minutes. Thus what is the point.

Others are starting to package AAC decoding into their products (like the SE K800i phone).
