Quoted: So if the music companies are selling over 90 percent of their music DRM-free, what benefits do they get from selling the remaining small percentage of their music encumbered with a DRM system? There appear to be none.
I...don't know what to say. This is a beautiful argument for providing DRM-free music. I have heard arguments in the past citing statistics which show that illegal music downloading isn't hurting the music industry, sure, but this is a corporate giant, a computer technology icon, discussing the possibility of dropping the obviously failed idea of music DRM.

Programmers have bypassed a new difficulty in providing Linux support for the latest-generation iPods.
Apple has never made it easy to use Linux on an iPod because the company prefers people use iTunes to access the media players -- and there isn't a Linux version.
The newest iPods, though, didn't work at all, according to the iPod-minus-iTunes blog. The database that the iPod uses to keep track of songs, videos, album art and other data was encrypted in the new models, the programmers said. That means Linux music-management software such as Amarok or Rhythmbox wouldn't work.
