The update to the GNU GPL 2.0, which was some five years in the making, was released this week for a year of public commentary. Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation and author of the current license, sat down with eWEEK Senior Editor Peter Galli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to talk about his aims, hopes and wishes for the new license.

Yeah, he says he couldn't put songs off his legally-purchased CD on his iPod, instead having to use a virtual audio card to re-record the decoded WMA.
I'm saying that he's just ignorant, because as long as the CD plays in a regular CD player, then there are copies of the songs on it that are NOT DRM'ed, but rather plain audio. If he knew how to rip those, he wouldn't have to use the hacky work-around. He doesn't know how to rip those, so that's why I'm calling him ignorant.

If the CD plays in a regular CD player, then there are DRM-less copies of the songs on the CD recorded in regular audio CD/AIFF format.
Your ignorance/lack of skill is no excuse.
[csasso] Hum, it seems to me you didn't understand what he wrote..
