LOS ANGELES - Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs challenged major record labels to strip copying restrictions from music sold online, but their trade group fired back Wednesday, suggesting the company should open up its anti-piracy technology to rivals instead.

Doing so, argued Mitch Bainwol, chairman and chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America, would eliminate technology hurdles that prevent music fans from buying songs at Apple's iTunes Music Store and playing them on devices other than the iPod.

The RIAA is such a joke.

Jobs has it right - just drop DRM and shut up. People will buy your 99 cent songs. I mean, Jobs has sold BILLIONS of legal songs even with DRM. Imagine how many people would buy them if they dropped DRM?

All I know is that I am a subscriber of eMusic that has no DRM in their songs, and I am not going even close to iTunes mostly for the DRM.

I don't blame you. DRM really is pretty lame stuff.
