			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would have posted this sooner, but my Internet connection has been spotty.  I haven&#8217;t spent a lot of time on campus lately so I can continue to recover from the itis.  At the same time, Time Warner cut off my cable too early at my old apartment.  Therefore, I&#8217;m pretty much without the net until Friday when they come to the new house and turn it on.  </p>
<p>Anyway, <a href="http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/">Steve Jobs wrote up a piece about how the music industry needs to get rid of DRM</a>.  This pretty much confirms something I&#8217;ve always expected, that companies like Apple and Microsoft would just as soon have zero DRM if the various industries would allow them too.  We spend a lot of time cursing the software and hardware makers for implementing DRM and we should probably continue to do so, but we should realize that they wouldn&#8217;t be able to sell all this music and movies at all without submitting something to the industries.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s nice to see Jobs challenging this a little bit and I hope other software makers (Bill?) do the same and perhaps we can finally get total control of our entertainment again.</p>
