Why is The Register even published? This article about a "cracking" the iTunes DRM is so slanted it's barely tabloid.

The bulk of the article is spent on quotes from Jon Lech Johansen about how the RIAA or Apple or the RIAA forcing Apple can change the rules of the DRM at any time.

"We're about to find out what Apple really thinks about Fair Use," Johansen told The Register via email.

"The RIAA can at any time change the DRM rules," he wrote in November, "and considering their history, it's likely that they will when the majority of consumers have embraced DRM and non-DRM products have been phased out. Some DVDs today include commercials which can't be skipped using 'sanctioned' players. If the RIAA forces Apple to include commercials, what excuses will the Mac zealots come up with? 'It's a good compromise'?

It also has one entirely confusing line that I can't make sense of, a quote by Fred Von Lohmann, an attorney for the EFF.

"Every song on iTunes Music Store has been available on the Peer to Peer networks within four hours. All the DRM does is frustrate legitimate consumers; it doesn't stop file sharing."

Is he saying that the actual files from the iTMS are on P2P networks? Or something else. I'll venture that this guy is clueless.
