ZDNet: "[..] if you own an iPod, it's got CRAP in it [...]"

This is a direct rip from dapreview.net. I'd make comments but pretty much everone know's my stance on DRM. This is a very good and informative video about why DRM is bad, and I think everyone needs to watch it if we're ever gonna stop these corporate machines from telling us what to do with our content. Below is the dapreview text (check out their site if you never have.) but click the link below to see the video.

ZDNet has a very interesting take on the whole Digital Rights Management deal that is going on at the moment. Instead of calling it DRM though, they call it CRAP, which stands for Content, Restriction, Annulment, and Protection.

David Berlind, the executiver Editor, actually gets really excited about the whole deal. He explains that there are three big companies out there trying to force their proprietary DRM systems on the consumer. Should a consumer however decide to switch from an Apple DAP to Sony DAP he will not be able to play the music he has legally purchased.

That's why he recommends not to buy any products with "CRAP" inside them, because they are restricting your rights as a consumer.
