Apple Just when you thought that DRM was on its way out, with various music stores abolishing the practice, some company will implement DRM in yet another way that will affect lots of customers in a very negative way. The most recent case of idiotic DRM comes courtesy of a gadget maker from Cupertino. Update: MacWorld provides nuance to the story, with comments from Apple and third-party manufacturers.

It's just a damned controller chip. They are very simple for other companies to copy and this is a non issue.

Way to go finding yet another ignorant anti-apple article to fan the flames.

If you want to attack apple how about going after them about their java implementation? At least there's basically no excuse for it's performance or being out of date.

I have Java 1.4.2, 5.0 and SE 6.

And they do have an excuse, they alter their JVM so Java applications in OS X will work more like native OS X applications.
