iTunes, DRM and France
In todays CNET news, Tom Jacobs of Sun Labs writes about the crazyness of the iTunes situation in France. In the article: Learning from the French iTunes Legislation Tom suggests that the compromise solution will likely end up with more bureaucracy, but will yield no improvement in interoperability. Tom points to Open Media Commons, an effort to develop royalty-free, open source DRM that will tie rights to individuals instead to devices. This will allow you to listen to all of your music on all of your devices.
