Any protected song purchased from the iTunes Store with iTunes is encoded with FairPlay. FairPlay digitally encrypts AAC audio files and prevents users from playing these files on unauthorized computers.
Understanding how Apple’s FairPlay DRM works helps to answer a lot of questions: why it hasn’t been replaced with an open, interoperable DRM that anyone can use, why Apple isn’t broadly licensing FairPlay, and why the company hasn’t jumped to add DRM-free content from indie artists to iTunes. |
Steven Jobs's second thoughst on music
Steven Jobs, the CEO of Apple, State his own view of DRM on the iTunes music. In his letter he said With the stunning global success of Apple’s iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to “open” the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods.

User's attitude towards DRM
That DRM technology has the potential to monitor consumers’ uses of digital content and to profile their consumption behaviour. We wanted to know if consumers are aware and possibly concerned about this DRM-related privacy issue. We only asked this question to respondents that had at least a basic idea about DRM.
DRM an law
- Is it illegal to circumvent or disable DRM?
- Can user convert the protected music to the other format?
- Do you have a right to make private copies?

on any device?

What experts say:
"If you are like most music lovers, you probably have a number of devices that you typically use to play your music. It would be safe to assume then that your music would probably exist in a number of different formats, such as audio cds or mp3s on your computer hard drive or portable digital music player.
What if you then wanted to transfer some of the music files on your computer into a portable digital music player? Or if you wanted to "rip" the music from your audio cd collection into your computer hard drive for archiving, backup or eventual transfer to your portable digital music player? SoundTaxi Professional handles all of these tasks and more, and remove drm with perfect ease and efficiency."
