Jobs makes good sense in his open letter:
"Though the big four music companies require that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs, these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. That’s right! No DRM system was ever developed for the CD, so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet, then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player."
So true, most of people's music comes from either illegal net downloads, or their own cds, both of which aren't protected. The music industry is losing, jobs is right that they should give up. The record companies would sell tons more mp3s if there was no encoding. The only reason I have never purchased from the iTunes music store is becuase the protection on the tracks would piss me off.
