  2. Re:Worldwide control? on German Publishers Want Censorship Talks With Apple · · Score: 1

    Seeing as that is already allowed on the iPhone/iPad platform, how is it an issue?

    Seems the publishers like their DRM though even though Apple gives the option maybe the governments should talk to the publishers then

    The Press similar to Banking was once a regulated but fair industry actually helping consumers,while deregulated banking gave us a GFC, the press is owned more by single entities that control and give you crap news and look only for advertising dollars with the cheapest content possible. Seriously when is the last time you saw an expose in a paper or on TV that wasn't already reported elsewhere. It appears germany is at least trying to keep up with technology and if the iPad is the next way to read a paper then the company that controls the platform can also control the content. Easily solved though force the platform to use open and non DRM content that can easily read by any device and most importantly downloaded from any source.
