DRM is too complicated - just rip CDs, says Bill Gates | |

Gates confessed to a round table of prominent bloggers that "no one has done it right" when it comes to Digital Rights Management. This is despite Microsoft recently creating yet another DRM format for it's new Zune MP3 player. Gates went on to say Digital Rights Management "causes too much pain for legitimate buyers" trying to distinguish between legal and illegal uses. He declined to elaborate on how Microsoft would address this. Gates' comments come as major record labels experiment with selling MP3s online without copyright protection. EMI is the latest to start selling MP3s without Digital Rights Management, with Britain's EMI Music offering tracks from singer Norah Jones and rock band Relient K - via Yahoo!'s online music service. | ||
