Jobs on Apple


After reading Steve Jobs "Thoughts on Music" I found his opinion on music very thought provoking. Jobs makes it very clear that it is not the fault of Apple that for their being DRM's on music bought on apple store online. He also says that it is not the fault of apple for their being illegally downloaded music because it is basically the fault of the “big four” music companies: Universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI. After doing a study Apple found out about 3% of songs on ipods are songs bought from the apple store, so that is at 22 out of 1000 songs. He says it is the fault of the record companies themselves because they are selling 90% of all music without DRM's and that is how is mostly gets downloaded illegally.
