Sony CDs crippled to not play on ipods (windows only)

I just love this article. Well written and informative. This stuff is just crap.

My thoughts: Sony reached a new low with the use of Sunncomm's DRM technology. They are trying to punish Apple for not opening up iTunes and the ipod formats for competition. (As in, if you buy songs on ITMS, you get them in Apple's proprietary format. Sony can't play with that.)

Yes, it can be said that Apple isn't playing nice with competitors by not licensing their tech to them. Bad bad Apple, for protecting their self-created market.

But wait: note that Apple Mac users are unaffected. Yes, that is right - this only hurts Windows PC users who happen to have an iPod. Moral of the story: If you want to buy Apple, make the complete switch to avoid headaches. Maybe Sony needs to rethink their competitive strategy on this one...
