Who said anything about DRM?

The implication that the iPod suffers from restrictive formats and a single
source for music is quite simply incorrect. I have never once used the
iTunes music store; I have no DRM-sourced music on my iPod. Yet it is full,
and it is full of music that I have legitimately purchased from a number of
sources - including online ones. So none of my music is in a restrictive
format and none of it is available from a single source.

Please don't support this astroturfing campaign. It's just Sandisk hoping
to persuade people by paying Grey Direct to get their employers to pretend
to be grass-roots campaigners. Or are *you* employed by Grey Direct as
well?
