Why iTunes works, despite the fact that I hate DRM

I just downloaded a song on iTunes. I clicked the purchase button about 15 seconds ago, and now I’m listening to it.

This, especially in contrast to my recent frustration with Fry’s Electronics, is what is called a “painless shopping experience.”

It’s amazing what a difference it makes to be able to actually get what you purchase, as opposed to…them not letting you have it. (Granted, that’s kind of what DRM is, but I don’t have to worry about that until I want to play my music anywhere besides my computer).
