Réflexions sur la musique
Steve Jobs a publié sur le site d’Apple une lettre ouverte très intéressante au sujet des DRM (gestion numérique des droits pour les fichiers musicaux). Comme son texte mérite d’être lu par le plus grand nombre, je l’ai traduit ici.
DAAP Licensing
When Apple released iTunes 7 last September, they changed the secret hashing. You would think they would have informed their DAAP licensees of this in advance and provided them with updated DAAP documentation. Not so.
Reading Between the Lines of Steve Jobs's 'Thoughts on Music'
Is it a challenge to the major record labels? An answer to the increasingly hostile European governments (Norway, France, Germany) that are pressuring Apple to 'open up' the iTunes Store? A message to the press to clarify Apple’s stance on DRM? A big fuck-you to Microsoft?

AAC is not Apple's format
So sure, Sony supports AAC. Great. Sony still a) can't play anything purchased from the iTMS, and b) cannot sell protected content that will play on the iPod.
