Former Apple Exec Speaks Against DRM

Wysz writes "Mike Evangelist, former Director of Product Marketing for Apple's "Pro" applications, has blogged his thoughts about DRM. Like many of us, he is offended by the fact that the record labels and movie studios treat their customers like criminals. While he notes in the comments section that iTunes is the best of the worst, he admits to using third-party tools to remove the DRM from iTunes tracks."

Apple makes being a cage seem "cool" to some people.

Perhaps it's a safe place fro Bill to keep people who don't like windows?

The evidence? Gates investing in Apple to prevent Linux from being the #1 threat to desktop windows.

Also, everybody knows that employees are the biggest shoplifters.

Oh really. Everybody knows that you say?

Music and record companies aren't the only ones

My orange juice container had another seal hidden under the lid. The orange juice maker claims that this is to keep out people who haven't paid for the juice. But it just causes a lot of extra headaches for me.

(Just playing devil's advocate *hopefully* with a fresh perspective >8*)

MOD PARENT DOWN - flamebait

[TheStonepedo]

MOD PARENT DOWN for the "rap 'music'" part of his comment. At best this is offtopic as this is not a musical tastes forum. At the worst, the guy is being offensive and making me want to go hop in my Escalade on 22" rims and drive through his neighborhood playing hip hop beats with violent, obscene rapping on my beatsystem with 1000 watts of subwoofers from dusk to dawn every night.

WOW! So if one kid in your chemistry class says it, it must be true for every case in all locations! Let's make empirical generalizations based on one case!

Dumbass.
