MSFT: Our DRM licensing is there to eliminate hobbyists and little guys
Cory Doctorow: A Microsoft spokesman has described their DRM licensing scheme as a system for reducing the number of device vendors to a manageable number, so that the company doesn't have to oversee too many developers. ... I was pretty surprised to hear an executive from Microsoft describe his company's strategy as intentionally anti-competitive and intended solely to freeze out certain classes of operators rather than maximizing its profits through producing a better product and charging a fair price for it.Isn't that why the Justice Department and the EU went after Redmond in the first place?
Another line item for GWB's tombstone.
