"DRM is not where it should be," said Mr Gates, reported blogger Steve Rubel. "In the end of the day incentive systems (for artists) make a difference," said Mr Gates. "But we don't have the right thing here in terms of simplicity or interoperability," he added."
Oh really? :roll: It also isn't where it needs to be in terms of just working as advertised. It is way too easy to lose your license or have a track stop playing, which is why after my one year experiment with Yahoo Music I dumped it and haven't missed it one bit. I'll continue to buy my CDs thank you.
