That is NOT what DRM is for. You can sell music without DRM, just RIAA would have you believe that is impossible. However they have been selling music for years without DRM until recently. DRM is a feabile attempt for them to CONTROL the music that you bought. However you should think to yourself, if I bought the content shouldn't I be the one to state how I use it? With DRM you sign a license and in the case of iTunes it allows them to change how you are allowed to listen to the music. Note that most if not all DRM music is not supportted on Linux or other "non-standard" environments. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16867 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
