Thanks! IMHO a perfect DRM is not necessary anyway, not all users are as
clever as this norwegian guy, who got some norwegian royal scientific
price for his activities, btw. Or as the californian judge said: if I cant
do it...........
That may not be valid as a definition of "effectiv", there is no effectiv
DRM in iTunes anyway, if the encryption is done on the consumers machine
AFTER the download (or not), but...
The most important thing is that people buy this stuff! Like they did buy
CDs offline, without copyprotection etc, for many years.
And Apple doesnt have to bother about key management.
But this keymanagement stuff etc may come one day, we can encrypt tracks
with mp4creator allready today etc...
