It's probably the case that Slim Devices want to be pragmatic and let their customers enjoy as much of their music as possible. So I suppose if they had a cost-effective way to support Fairplay, they would do it.
But perhaps the main point I was trying to make didn't come across. What I was trying to get at is that if you build a device that supports a DRM scheme, then you're assisting that scheme to become more entrenched. Helping those of your customers who have bought DRM'd music may be the "nice" thing to do in the short term, but looked at from the long view it's counter-productive. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
