I understand TOTALY when complaining about Napster DRM, for instance. Things that expire, that just plain sucks. I guess I was talking more about Apple's DRM. The songs are ours and they won't go away, there is no subscription service.
I never thought about the competition thing. I guess that's because, right now, the iPod (in my opinion) is the best music player out there. If I liked other players more and wanted to use them, I might have a different opinion on this stuff.
I guess my MAIN point is this: could you think of a better solution? If you could, I guarantee my thoughts on DRM would change.
