Behind the Eye: Upgrading iTunes Library to DRM Free is Not So Easy : Thu, 05... - 0 views

  •  
    Something from the music industry. Many of you may have heard about iTunes getting the labels to agree to DRM-free music in exchange for a new princing structure. But things are not going so smoothly in upgrading to DRM-free music. Looks like iTunes could use a solid analysis of its system architecture to see where the bottleneck is.

thedigitalist.net » DRM Is Not Evil - 3 views

  • The whole DRM debate is hardly a new one but it’s time someone in publishing said something positive for DRM. Yes, it often sucks, but it’s not evil.
  • My argument here is simple: if we want Harry Potter- the books, films, computer games, the whole phenomenon - then DRM has a role.

More Kindle Limitations Discovered - 0 views

  • As noted earlier, DRM does nothing to prevent piracy. It’s in place on the Kindle to provide proprietary lock-in for Amazon and a little hand-holding comfort for nervous publishers.  It serves to annoy and alienate potential paying customers. The Kindle has great potential as a device, but as long as Amazon continues to cripple it, readers would be advised to seek alternative e-book solutions.
