> The iPhone and iPod are, while pretty, DRM-infested crap. Much like a streetwalker.

I don't know about the streetwalker, or the iPhone, DRM-wise; but in all the years I had three iPods, I never had ONE SINGLE DRM-infested tune on them. Just MP3s, all legal -- ripped by me from my CDs, or downloaded from eMusic.com.

The common misconception that iPods only play DRM-infested crap is a lie.

I refuse to have any DRM in my house, car, or life. Hasn't bothered my iPods one bit.

How can anyone be so ignorant as to believe it in the first place?

Microsoft has been caught as being behind the “iPods only play DRM music” whispering campaign - they use it to either try to drive Zune sales, or to try to excuse the Zune DRM.

Oh, I know the iPod will play non-DRMed files.

Doesn't play FLAC files, tho. ;)
