Rosen Vs Jobs

FMQB reports: In an online editorial for The HuffingtonPost.com, former RIAA Chairman/CEO Hilary Rosen questions the business tactics of Apple and asks why the iPod is only compatible with songs purchased from iTunes.

Now, the music fan is on the cusp of riches in their options." She lists the number of online digital music stores and points out that most other portable devices are compatible with all online stores. 

However, while iTunes purchases only work on an iPod, "those other music sites have lots of music that you can't get at the iTunes store. So, if you have an iPod, you are out of luck." [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
