According to CNET News.com:
“Apple Computer is preparing an online music-buying service for
Macintosh and iPod users and is close to winning many of the
licenses it needs from major record labels, sources familiar
with the negotiations said.”
[...]
“Apple has previously found itself snubbed by most of the early
movie and music subscription services, in part because of its
refusal to build strict digital rights management tools into
its products.”
[...]
“With the iPod, for example, Apple has a synching feature that,
when enabled, limits the digital music player to sharing music
with one computer. By disabling that feature, an iPod user can
allow the device to swap tunes with any number of Macs.”
[...]
“As for copy protection, Apple includes none with the iPod
currently, though the device does come in a plastic wrap that
admonishes in English, French, German and Japanese:
‘Don’t steal music.’”
