On an interview, Steve Jobs told he didn't wanted DRM on iTunes so everyone could share the music files the same way it was done with Napster (the real inspiration for iTunes Store) and that the single reason they had to put it was because it was a mandatory requirement of discographic industry or they wouldn't allow to distribute their music. Once again, it's not a technological issue, it's a political and bussiness model issue, and W3C members (myself too) shouldn't be wasting time thinking about it. I start to think that design was moved from mayors to W3C so they wouldn't need to think and waste time working on another again condenm to failure DRM technology so W3C could do their job by free, and also give it an halo of standarization and "good thing for the people" spice...
