That dipshit from Real
What would you do if the next version of Quicktime could play .rm files, even ones with DRM? Suppose that they respect the DRM, and only play on authorized computers. Suppose Quicktime Pro were capable of creating .rm files with DRM.
Why shouldn’t Apple do this?
Glaser: (CEO of Real)
We would be happy to cross-license our DRM and formats to Apple to enable exactly the kind of interoperability you propose.
Unbelievable.
The question is if Apple did it without Reals permission (hence no licensing involved) what would he think of that… he double speaks around it and basically says, yeah I wish they would buy our format from us.
Fucking hypocrite.

Question #9 at that link is even funnier.
Yeah, it’s a well-known fact that this guy is a tool, and the Slashdot interview only serves to poiint this out further. I mean who the hell seriously expects to break the iPod’s DRM scheme without Apple’s permission and not have them purposefully break it in a software update? And when it happens, Real will make all kinds of whiney sounds in the form of press releases and postings to their websites about a “harmful” iPod upgrade, when the reality is, no one will be affected, because nobody is going to buy Real’s music for their iPod in the first place.
