I guess only 1% knows what it means. Maybe even less. The main point is DRM is stupid because it doesn't take customers seriously. Both Microsoft and Apple are doing this and are treading consumers like criminals. And with those iTunes songs... it's .99 dollar cents. That ain't cheap for a download at 128 kbps AAC + DRM!

Cory's whole point hinges on claims that Apple is hypocritical for shipping units capable of holding tens of thousands of albums when few people own that many. The point is dishonest at best. The iPod supports Apple Lossless, which averages between 250 and 350 megs per full CD. I can't fit half of my own music collection on it, and save for a few iTMS singles I bought online, I own the CD for every last song in my collection. I totally disagree with Cory here.
