Q&A: Microsoft defends return to DRM
Representative quote:
Q: If I buy these songs on your service - and they’re locked to my phone - what happens when I upgrade my phone in six months’ time?
A: Well, I think you know the answer to that.
Definitely a funny interview. The PR guy totally didn’t give a shit. It’s a loser, he knows it, you know it, we all know it, so the question is: why bother with all the flimflam?
A: Because it’s his job!
Yeah, the service sounds pretty shitty in it’s current form. I like the non-answer regarding the pricing.
That is great. It sounds like they got paid money by some third-party partner to offer this service; I’d look to see if that’s true, except that it’s impossible to care even slightly.
Heh, I used to know Hugh Griffiths back when I lived in the UK. Nice chap.
