Taking a Bite at the Apple

I generally don't link to other blogs, especially those from sources consistently opposed to productive IP policies, but would like to point readers to Public Knowledge writer, Alex Curtis, who has written a thoughtful commentary on recent reverse engineering of Apple's FairPlay DRM. I commend his insight that nobody is forcing anyone to buy DRM-d music (listening to usual DRM critics, one walks away thinking that product substitutions and voluntary consumer action are not a part of the current digital music market), and the implication from his blog that competition is healthy in the music-player business under existing DMCA policies.
