Apple shows us DRM's true colors. The EFF reviews the various places that Apple still applies DRM (including locking iPhones to carriers, licensing authentication chips for iPod accessory vendors, preventing OS X from loading on generic PCs) and concludes that “the majority of these DRM efforts do not have even an arguable relation to ’piracy.’”

  1. Not sure what EFF is talking about (the ComputerWorld article they link to is pretty vague too), but it isn't DRM that stops OS X from running on generic PCs, but the use of EFI rather than BIOS plus certain device drivers. Hackintoshes use an EFI emulator and supply device drivers ... that's it.
