What those companies won't tell you is that they use Macintosh computers in all their creations. If you are a Mac fan, as I am, you have nothing to worry about. I took a few classes in Cupertino, California (at the Apple Computer headquarters), and learned that all the wonderful achievements done for Windows were created on a Mac (including every logo used for Windows). No, I don't criticize people for using Windows. Use what you want. I live in a country where 98% of all the computer users use Windows XP. But Mac works here fine. The Vietnamese keyboard has problems on Windows. The Vietnamese keyboard that comes installed on a Mac works great every time (this from people to whom I have lent my iBook at work).

I thought the Russian site was under some serious legal heat, though.
But anyway --
Apple's implementation of DRM is probably the most flexible and easily-circumvented system out there. It's always been understood that the only reason for their DRM was to get the big studios on board with the idea of selling music as downloadable files. Otherwise, there would be no iTunes Music Store, period.
