EMI claims their DRM will work with iPod; Apple: "What?!"

By C.K. Sample, III

This is great. Some person at EMI label said: "Apple is nearly finished with the technical work necessary to enable consumers to transfer music from content-protected discs to their iPods. ... This is an important step for EMI and Apple, but even more so for music consumers who will soon be able to legitimately port music from protected discs they own to the iPod."

Now, here's where it gets good. Apple replies, "The information EMI provided regarding iTunes and iPod compatibility with Macrovision's technology is not true and we have no idea why EMI made this statement."

Moral of the story: Companies that pimp DRM are liars.
