jonbruck @ "Apple gets rid of DRM and doubles the sampling rate and you guys still complain."

I believe the issues are that:

1. Apple hasn't dropped any DRM, it's EMI that did the dropping. Apple in fact gets zero credit for this.

2. Apple didn't "get rid of it's DRM", it's still there on all the other labels. To make your statement factual Apple would have to tell all the labels they are now selling content without DRM, regardless of what they say.

3. The real thrust of the article is that we shouldn't have to pay extra for something that we should have had all along.
