 <title>Devolving the iPod</title>
 <link>http://lions.teledyn.com/node/551</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Some observations and thoughts by EFF&#039;s Cory Doctorow on the latest &#039;update&#039; to the iPod, an update that&#039;s paid for by your purchase price, yet it&#039;s an downgrade update that actually robs you of your legal rights ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;What&#039;s the lesson here? Well, Apple&#039;s not on your side, even if you&#039;re an Apple customer. If you buy into a proprietary platform where the music industry gets a veto, you&#039;re scr0d. Every time you buy an iPod, you are financing legal and technical countermeasures aimed at taking away legitimate features that enable you to do more with your lawfully acquired music and hardware.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
