The Inquirer: Microsoft to Lose the Handset DRM Battle
Posted by Jason Eaton in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
"Industry observers have highlighted the advantage that Apple may gain in the fledgling movie download sector as a result of FairUse4MW - a hack which removes the DRM (Digital Rights Management) from .wma files. The INQ would argue, however, that this weakness is far more important in the mobile handset arena. Chiefly because only a madman would pay to download tracks from iTunes using a regular mobile phone."
An interesting opinion piece on how Microsoft may be losing its appeal to content distributors as hackers continue to make the DRM ineffective. However without any numbers to gauge the impact to sales is this article more theory then fact?
