A friend of mine recently sent me this link to an article by Steve Jobs. In the article, Steve discusses his thoughts on music, FairPlay (iTunes' DRM), and the possible future of DRM'd music. I found the article interesting...not really profound...but interesting.

The reason I say the article is interesting is because Steve Jobs says that Apple would sell DRM-free music if the record companies would allow Apple the opportunity. Not only does he say this, but he expresses his personal desire that it happens.

I can't help but ask myself, "Really? Apple (aka Steve Jobs) doesn't actually like DRM?" I wonder if this is the truth or if Steve Jobs is playing Apple's "we're awesomely cool" card and basically saying what people want to hear.

Now before I get flamed by all the Apple fan-boys/grils (because I'm sure you all read my blog...), let me just say that I have nothing against Apple or Steve Jobs. In fact, I just bought a MacBook Pro and really like it. I'm just wondering if the same company that more or less "forces" you to do things their way is really rooting for more consumer freedom.
