Dispatch from EFF
Tech support for Microsoft’s new MSN Music service is responding to the incompatibility between its downloads and the iPod by advising its customers to burn the downloads to CD, then rip the CD to a compatible format.
I’m pretty sure that this is a violation of the DMCA. Also, I’m sure Microsoft has some deal with the studios that they’d implement a functional DRM system in order to get the rights to distribute. I’m not sure it’s such a good idea to turn around and start publishing ways to circumvent.
