Apple have a screwed up business plan. Although its worth noting that no one has licenced iPods to play Window DRM either (VERY ANNOYING) So i cannot do or play anything thats windows DRM protected.

This iTunes thing will mean record companys pulling out of itunes france. Apple were against DRM when itunes first started but did so to get the music industry on board. Hopefully apples market share and give apple some power over the industry as happened last time when they tried to raise prices.

We will see
