DRM: FSF writes an Open Letter to Steve Jobs
Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs recently jumped into the DRM debate and now in return is going to receive an open letter from the Free Software Foundation signed by thousands of users.
The letter is quite long, here a meaningful excerpt:
It has been three weeks now since you published your pledge to drop DRM, and there have been many responses from commentators who have outlined actions you could take to back up your words. The fact that you have not taken any action leads us to ask the question: How genuine is your pledge?
What will Steve answer, eventually?
Roberto Galoppini and 
Krissy are discussing.

I doubt this will get any response from Apple. As many have said, his essay probably had some Steve-like intentions behind it. I mean, I can’t see him just going DRM-less so easily. (Plus, he can’t really.)
DRM, I imagine, is here to stay.

Hi Krissy,
I went through the article, and I can’t share those conclusions: from wrong hypothesis (Apple making money out of hw selling, and not from music) you obtain wrong results.
Anyway I agree, DRM is likely to stay, let’s see how and at which extent..
