> It makes you wonder if Steve Jobs was correct that people that pirate (songs, Napster back in the day) would be willing to pay for music if it was easy (iTunes) and cheap ($0.99).
I'm not sure if I agree but it is an interesting foil.
Steve literally proceeded to launch a software app store that had DRM out of the wazoo, so even he didn't believe it.
Jobs convinced the music tracks studios to let him sell DRM free tracks on iTunes, so it seems to me like he believed it. I don't know if iTunes music is still DRM free, though.
But even it weren't, content creators unwillingness to let Apple sell DRM free media is not evidence that Jobs agrees with them.
