Napster has Apple's back.
April 07, 2005 @ 08:14 AMInteresting situation going on right now in Congress. Apparently they’re debating whether or not to force Apple to open up it’s DRM so they interoperate with others.
BAD. IDEA.
Even Napster’s CTO testified at the hearing that these types of decisions should be dictated by the market and not government intervention. I respect his integrity. It would have been very easy for him to go in and whine about Apple beating them, but he didn’t. He told it how it is.
I’m not necessarily defending Apple’s practice of restricting the iTunes-iPod platform, merely stating the government has no right getting involved at this point.
