"To eMusic, the answer was simple: you offer songs as high quality, variable bit rate MP3 files instead. DRM is removed, consumers are happy, and the vast white fields of the iPod are ready for harvest."

how un-american can you get - you guys are just plain terrorist - you are wrecking the economy by giving consumers what they paid for - music they can play on any number of devices of their choice without degradation and as many times as they want. quit removing the drm - oh the humanity!!
