Case in point:
Zune: Microsoft Developing Copyright Filter for Zune, Will Block Pirated Content
“In the long term, the consumer wants there to be quality premium-produced content, and in order for that to continue to be a viable business, there needs to be significant protection around it.” This is the same NBC that was working with AT&T to build a network-wide dragnet for pirated content, so color us totally not surprised. Just don’t know why Microsoft would agree to this and give people a reason to avoid Zunes (whether it’s a legitimate one or not), when they’re already way behind the iPod (which told NBC to take a flying hoo-ha).
