Steve Jobs Hates DRM史蒂夫喬布斯討厭的DRM
If you went to Apple.com last week, then you might have seen an article written by Steve Jobs about DRM and the music industry called如果你去Apple.com上週，那麼您可能已經看到了一篇文章史蒂夫喬布斯有關數字版權管理和音樂界稱為 Thoughts on Music關於音樂的思考 . 。 In the article Job talks about the history of DRM (digital rights management) and how companies, including Apple, who sell music online have to change in order to survive.在文章中談論工作歷史上的DRM （數字版權管理） ，以及如何公司，包括蘋果，誰銷售在線音樂必須改變才能生存。
In case you haven’t read the article yet, the bottom line is Jobs doesn’t like digital rights management and thinks it has been ineffective at stopping music piracy.如果你沒有閱讀文章但是，底線是喬布斯不喜歡數字版權管理，認為它已失效停止音樂盜版。 The root of his argument is how music companies failed to come together and create an audio CD format with built in copy-protection.的根源，他的論點是如何唱片公司沒能走到一起，建立一個音頻CD格式，內置版權保護。
Here’sa quote from the article:下面引用的文章：
“Though the big four music companies require that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs, these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. “雖然四大唱片公司要求所有的音樂在線銷售是與DRMs保護，這些相同的唱片公司繼續出售數十億的CD一年其中包含完全不受保護的音樂。 That’s right!沒錯！ No否 DRM system was ever developed for the CD DRM系統是以往任何時候都發達，裁談會 , so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet, then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player.” ，因此，所有的音樂光碟分發可以很容易地上傳到互聯網，然後（非法）下載並播放任何一台計算機或球員。 “
In contrast, the movie industry was able to set aside their differences and DVDs were invented with copy-protection built in. So since the music industry can’t get their act together, what should happen now?與此相反，電影業能夠擱置分歧和DVD的發明與版權保護內置因此，自音樂產業不能得到他們的共同行動，應該怎麼發生的呢？
If Steve Jobs has his way, DRM would be abolished entirely:如果史蒂夫喬布斯有他的方式，數字版權管理將完全取消：
“Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. “試想，世界上每一個網上商店銷售無DRM限制的音樂編碼格式開放授權。 In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players.在這樣一個世界，任何球員可以發揮購買的音樂從任何商店，任何商店可以出售音樂播放這是對所有球員。 This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat.這顯然是最佳選擇的消費者，蘋果將接受它的心跳。 If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store.如果四大唱片公司將授權蘋果自己的音樂沒有要求，它的保護與數字版權管理，我們將切換到只銷售無DRM限制的音樂，我們的iTunes商店。 Every iPod ever made will play this DRM-free music.”每一個iPod有史以來將發揮本無DRM限制的音樂。 “
So why would Jobs write this letter and why now?那麼，為什麼會喬布斯寫這封信，為什麼呢？ Recently there’s been a lot of pressure coming from Europe, including consumer groups in Germany and France.最近有一個很大的壓力，來自歐洲，包括消費群體的德國和法國。 The Europeans歐洲人 claim that Apple’s iTunes Store violates consumer laws聲稱，蘋果公司的iTunes網上音樂商店違反消費者保護法 because iTunes songs can only be played on iPods.因為iTunes歌曲只能在iPods上播放。 Since the iPod has about 80% of the portable media player market, the Europeans believe that Apple is stifling competition.由於蘋果擁有大約80 ％的便攜式媒體播放器市場上，歐洲人認為，蘋果正在扼殺競爭。
The other option would be for Apple to license their DRM technology, called FairPlay, to other companies.另一種選擇將是蘋果授權的數字版權管理技術，名為FairPlay給其他公司。 Licensing FairPlay could end up making Apple a lot more money in the long run, but Jobs doesn’t want Apple’s secrets behind the FairPlay technology leaked, copied or modified by hackers.許可的FairPlay可能最終使蘋果更多的錢，從長遠來看，但喬布斯並不希望蘋果公司的秘密背後的FairPlay技術洩露，複製或修改了黑客的攻擊。 He’d rather just他只想 do away with DRM altogether放棄數字版權管理完全 . 。 That would be the easiest solution for everyone… especially the consumer.這將是最簡單的解決方案，每個人...尤其是消費者。
I give Jobs a lot of credit.我請了很多就業的信貸。 Who knows, years from now people may look back at this article as the Emancipation Proclamation for digital music.誰知道，來的人從現在回頭看可能在本文的解放宣言的數字音樂。
