This is ridiculous

I think that the French law is the most reasonable thing I’ve heard of in the digital consumer sphere. For the US Government to be backing Apple in the whole “fuck the customer” mentality is just stupid.

From Engadget:

At issue is a draft law that would require Apple and other companies to open up their DRM to competitors or allow consumers to do so on their own, so that music purchased in an online music store could be played in any manufacturer’s digital audio player.

I bought the damn music. I should be able to play it on whatever device I choose. And you’re not going to convince me otherwise with scary words like “freedom fries.”
