In a move to make the world grow unexpectedly, Apple CEO Steve Jobs called for the abolition of digital rights management (DRM) technology currently used to prevent unauthorized music sharing.
The statement was made by Steve Jobs in an open letter on the Apple website, primarily in response to concerns about DRM from some European countries such as France and Ireland. Jobs thinks that the companies that burn DRM will give up the best solution for consumers.
Currently Apple is leading the digital music market but its iPod music player is not compatible with all other competitors' devices. This incompatibility is being prompted by regulators, while Ireland went further when last month announced that iPod was illegal because it only allowed users to buy music on Apple's iTunes page.
Jobs also said that Apple decided not to offer FairPlay DRM technology to other firms because it feared that this would create a loophole for hackers to attack the platform. In fact, DRM FairPlay was broken by hackers last year but soon Apple quickly issued a fix.
