Subject [Hackmeeting] Thoughts on Jobs 


http://www.apple.com/it/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/

Lungi dall'avermi convinto della "totale innocenza" di Apple nella
congiura attuata dalle major discografiche, la lettera (?) sopra citata
contiene qualche ca**ata...

"Apple was able to negotiate landmark usage rights at the time, which
include allowing users to play their DRM protected music on up to 5
computers and on an unlimited number of iPods. Obtaining such rights
from the music companies was unprecedented at the time, and even today
is unmatched by most other digital music services."

Non mi sembra che le major si siano avventate contro questi altri
distributori di musica online per via degli "usage rights" che
offrivano...

"However, a key provision of our agreements with the music companies is
that if our DRM system is compromised and their music becomes playable
on unauthorized devices, we have only a small number of weeks to fix the
problem or they can withdraw their entire music catalog from our iTunes
store."

Come dire, Apple a 90 e dietro le varie major a turno ;)
La domanda nasce spontanea: ma chi e' a dare i dollari a Apple? Le major
o gli utenti? A chi risponde davvero Apple?

"So far we have met our commitments to the music companies to protect
their music, and we have given users the most liberal usage rights
available in the industry for legally downloaded music."

Balle :)
Vogliamo mettere a confronto un brano protetto dal drm di apple contro
un ogg sotto licenza creative commons? Spero solo che Jobs non
intendesse dire che i brani in formato aperto e con licenza tipo cc sono
illegali... ;)

"Convincing them to license their music to Apple and others DRM-free
will create a truly interoperable music marketplace. Apple will embrace
this wholeheartedly."

Fiko, ma fino ad oggi cosa abbiamo fatto?

Chicca finale: ma se fossi un utente rispettoso delle regole, e mi fossi
speso un capitale per acquistare musica da apple, e dopodomani invece
apple iniziasse a vendere quella stessa musica in versione "liberata"...
non avrei forse diritto a richiedere una sorta di "conversione"?

Ad ogni modo aspetto con grande curiosita' le prossime mosse :)
