Steve Jobs published a long rant (“Thoughts on Music“) about iPod, iTunes and DRM in the Hot News section of the Apple website.
Techmeme is going crazy with this discussions on Jobs’ thoughts. With his rant Jobs seem to take a position alongside anti-DRM crowd and sort of blames major record labels for its existence. The writing is a very well thought out piece which gives a background on how Apple iTunes made landmark deals with record labels.
Jobs goes on to make the point that only 3% of iPods hold music with DRM from Apple according to the accurate data that they have and goes on to say that he can’t understand how this is regarded as an iPod-iTunes lock-in.
