Uh, DRM is there because of the record companies, and Apple can't give out it's technology to others because of their agreement with the record companies. That would be like inventing a safe and giving out the master code to a bunch of people. This is all very obvious to me, but I'll let you figure it out for yourselves.

Oh i mean to say, the car should have its own entertainment console with wifi and/or a cat5 connection and dvd/cd reader. This way you can watch movies, play/import cd's and dvds of music, and synch to your music and video collection via remote. I dont see why apple should get a second slice of the same pie. they got paid for selling it to me now let me play it where I want when I want like I did with my CDs and tapes and 8 tracks. I direct these posts to the author of the article and for others to consider/.

You are almost right. You can get cars with DVD players for the kids in the backseat. But I don't know why iTunes should get to profit on top of song sales by licensing a codec. They would have changed music too much. In the past you could buy music anywhere and play it anywhere. Now you say if I buy music from itunes I can only play it if aaple gets a royalty? crap. Why don't cars come with 500 gig drives and a dvd and let me play any format. I dont and never will use apples codecs. I don't buy from itunes. i keep everything in mp3 and play it on my ipod and anywhere else I want via itunes, musicmatch, windows mediaplayer and more.

This supposed "crack" to Apple's DRM is a fairly mot point since iTunes allows m4p tracks to be burned to CD at without ditgital-to-analog conversion and while simultaneously stripping any DRM. Those tracks can then be reimported in mp3 format and used in any way the user sees fit. So, the DRM amounts to an annoyance and small cost.

I tend to think that having the iPod in the car *is* the solution : I'm certainly not interested in burning CDs or DVDs regularly to make my playlists for my car stereo ! I far more prefer to have my iPod (or my iRiver, since I have both) in the car, and synchronize it with my computer. But I certainly agree with your views concerning Apple's strategy : I cannot foresee any long term benefit from Apple's closed technology strategy. The great lesson of history is that men learn nothing from history, or so it seems.

The true reason Apple is closed about it's DRM is the fact that it would be embarrsing for them to open such "DRM" implementation, as it would demonstrate to everybody how easy it is to be cracked, that it would be hardly even named "DRM" and the only reason it's there is due to DMCA...
