The problem, of course, is that there are many smart people in the world, some with a lot of time on their hands, who love to discover such secrets and publish a way for everyone to get free (and stolen) music. They are often successful in doing just that, so any company trying to protect content using a DRM must frequently update it with new and harder to discover secrets. It is a cat-and-mouse game.

I wonder if the same could be applied to the Quicktime Pro I've legally purchased and the pain in the ass it is to keep having to retrieve the license info during install/reinstalls as I change machines during the day. DRM is being misunderstood by people jumping on the idea that this means "free for all"  The idea that penalizing your legal customers  to prevent criminal action is stupid yet one which the old business world is very comfy with, they learned from the best  Government money can buy after all.  Roadblocks are very inefficient at detecting crime  based on the number of people stopped but it looks like you're doing something.  Job's  looks like he's doing something other than  promoting their self interest  prior to several EEC nations  removing a revenue stream  by making them offer music that can be played on other devices.  Ultimately if the music co's want to horde and die, we should let them.
