Comments on: Glaser envisions digital tech for the taking

RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser brushes off a recent rebuff from Apple and says incompatible piracy prevention tools threaten to turn off consumers.

IPod also supports this format known as "MP3"...

There seems to be a lot of focus on the iPod as a product containing music in an Apple-proprietary format.

However, most people primarily use the iPod as a standard MP3-player, playing completely legitimate coipes of their own music.

It's true that music bought in iTunes Music Store is copy-protected, but how can that be a problem of the magnitude that Real and Microsoft try to portray it as?

Glaser is clearly gasping for air!

Glaser is clearly gasping for air! Yup! I said it. The man is so
lacking in the directive department that he feels the need to ask
for a joint effort from Apple, and then dumb enough to threaten
to join the enemy. OY VEY! Certainly the man has not read "The
Art of War" now has he? Real Player is dying, mostly from their
own consistent trickery of free/pay Real Player.

OY VEY!
