I-Phooey

I don't own an i-pod, though all three of my sons and my stepdaughter do. And I confess that I might own one if I had several hundred dollars I could spend on that kind of luxury. Still, I get mightily honked off by Apple's DRM (digital rights management - the software that says "yes, you bought this, but it isn't really yours"). Of course they aren't the only ones, though the music industry, at least, seems to be changing, primarily because there are so many ways around DRM that they are realizing they just look too greedy.

I prefer Apple to Microsoft, the i-phone is gee-whiz cool, but DRM just sucks.
