DABOSS, thanks for the link. I found this bit "...Apple has refused to use digital rights management technology, which prevents consumers from downloading music and making CDs, Oster said." to be a rather interesting contrast to Mama Cass' claim that "The security of the content is the actual key. Apple is working with the music labels to protect their content... Unfortunately, e.Digital made the opposite choice in the design of the Odyssey. Unlike the iPod, the Odyssey can be used to transfer music from one user to another, possibly illegally." Amazing how some folks try to twist the truth to suit their agenda. Seems to me that AAPL is playing catch-up at this point in time, given EDIG's abilty to offer complete DRM solutions as an available option in multiple reference designs.
