A simple way to skin the DRM cat

Interesting article.
The stats about Itunes purchases were interesting. So, on average, each Ipod owner has only purchased 22 songs from Itunes. I don't think that the average consumer is as gullible as the corporate world thinks they are. I have been saying it all along, .99 cents for a compressed and DRM crippled song is a BAD DEAL all around!
BTW, I thought that Jobs said that he was stripping the DRM totally from Itunes songs. What ever came of that? Do the files you download from Itunes still have the DRM encoded into them?

Thanks for the link! That clears it up for me. I wasn't aware that he was charging MORE for the non-DRM files nor was I aware of this privacy issue with the names and email addresses being embedded into the files. That's pretty sad...
