Fair Use to the rescue. From John Markoff's 7 February article in the
New York Times:

"Officially, the industry chose to respond Tuesday by seizing on one
idea that Mr. Jobs raised -- licensing Apple's own copy-protection
system -- even though he went on to reject it. 'Apple's offer to license
FairPlay to other technology companies is a welcome breakthrough and
would be a real victory for fans, artists and labels,' the Recording
Industry Association of America said."

The quote above (or parts of it or references to it) has also appeared
in Jon Gruber's Daring Fireball blog
<http://daringfireball.net/2007/02/reading_between_the_lines>
and Jon Healey's LA Times blog
<http://opinion.latimes.com/bitplayer/2007/02/jobs_to_drm_dro.html>.

I've never seen any name attributed to the quote, so I assume that
Markoff's source at the RIAA requested anonymity.
