Death knoll for DRM

Steve Jobs gets it. Technology cannot prevent piracy, and such copy protection schemes do nothing more than annoy customers, stifle innovation, and increase costs for digital media vendors. I’m very happy that Jobs has got it and is being public about it - as CEO of Apple, former CEO of Pixar, and board member of Disney, he’s uniquely and powerfully positioned in both the technology and media worlds, thus has the best chance of being heard.

What do you think?
