The question really is, do we need yet another incompatible form of DRM?
At least FairPlay is easily liberated.... |

Actually, Fairplay was never phased out: While Apple stopped using it on music, it's still in use on videos.
I really hope they will let the publishers decide if they want to use DRM or not, like they did with EMI music! |

Not a surprise, but I still hate to hear it. I would actually thought of buying if they were without DRM. As it stands, I have never bought a song from Apple, and I guess I'll never buy a book....
