Apple Boss Says Scrap Music Copy Protection

In a dramatic turnaround, Apple CEO says recording companies ought to abandon digital rights management schemes. “Jobs pointed out that the vast majority of music bought today — only 10 percent of all music sold last year was through an online store — has no copyright protections and freely allows consumers to copy music to their computers. Attaching digital rights management to music bought online has only limited the number of online music stores, he wrote.”
