It seems Someone is trying to upset the Cartels applecart.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6344929.stmWarner Music has rejected a suggestion from Apple boss Steve Jobs that record companies should remove copy protection software from digital music downloads.
Its boss Edgar Bronfman, said Mr Job's proposal was "without logic and merit".
Mr Jobs said this week that Digital Rights Management systems had not ended piracy and so should be removed.
Whilst they can abuse this so called "protection" system to demand payment multiple times for the same product we are not likely to see any DRM being removed.
I am not afraid to call this method of revenue generation a fraud on the consumer, stealing people fair use rights is a dirty underhand trick that big media companies should be ashamed of, no doubt when they respect the consumers rights their own may be looked upon more favourably.
