This is a older story ran by Wired.com last month and how they plan to use its Digital Rights Management technology which is found in some P2P programs like Napster, Kazaa and Morpheous to “secure” music and to please content providers. I’ve seen this work before it wont let you play the music you’ve downloaded on your PC. Winamp will play it though but that may not be the case forever.
