Mr. Steve Jobs: please open up your DRM!

Dear Mr. Jobs.

Everyone who owns a digital music player of any sort is painfully aware that buying music from a particular online store locks them into that platform. Your company has been particularly stubborn about allowing your protected AAC files to be played on anything but iPods. That doesn't seem fair.

So I urge you to open your propriety DRM technology, and I ask for the support of countries all over the world. France, Denmark, Norway and Germany seem to be in the right track now. Hope Portugal will join soon, if not the Europe as a whole.

Sincerely,

Mário Romano
