"...they also want decide for themselves when they want to surrender it."

Like a couple o thousand Penn State students whose once free Napster songs are suddenly nothing more than dead space on a hard drive.

The game-over on iTunes subscriptions came the minute Jobs dropped the anti-DRM essay. Subscription models, by their very nature, require DRM. If Jobs is trying to move to a DRM-free model, the subscriptions negotiation is instantly dead in the water.

Not that "the Thug" won't push for it anyway.
