   Any thoughts on my (unfortunately longish) "Thoughts on Thoughts on 
Music" http://www.digital-copyright.ca/node/3688

   I think there are ways in which Jobs is being more honest than most 
DRM vendors about the issues, while at the same time being dishonest 
about the source of the problem (which is not the content industry, but 
some -- as of yet clarified -- part of the technology sector).
