Question: France Vs Apple
- Apple are right
- The French are right
- Both are wrong, I have a better solution (explain)
- What's France?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wondering what people around here think of the DRM debate going on
over in France.
Apple's DRM isn't harming anyone expect the people foolish enough to buy
it. There are plenty of legal alternatives, and even more non-legal
ones, so who cares?
This is just showboating the idea that DRM is bad, anti-consumer, and
monopolistic. That's entirely true, but not something to waste the
court's time with because it's not illegal and there isn't actually a
monopoly (or even a decent cartel). Now if Apple was able to illegally
stop the French equivalent of eMusic from operating, you'd have a case
for a trial, but if too few French are informed enough to keep their
eMusic equivalent in business, that's not Apple's fault.
