Using DRM as a technology to lock users to a specific company is a bad thing.


From what I've heard, even the labels think this is a problem with iTunes. The record companies dictates most DRM requirements, but it was definitely Apple's own idea to lock users to iTunes/iPod.

I guess you can blame the MPEG too for never coming up with a standardized DRM scheme (they tried, but couldn't come up with something that would please the entire industry).
