Apple

I was referring to the MP3 player manufacturers. I personally refuse to get an Ipod as if I end up downloading a number of iTunes, and then wish to upgrade my Ipod in the future to a different brand, then I will have to repurchase all my MP3s. DRM is extremely good for Apple as it ties you in to their hardware/software.

Now is the time to start taking this danger VERY seriously. This is big and very nasty business in action. The objective seems absolutely clear. Destroy GPL and 'steal' all the technology. An activity with plenty of precedence.
