One of the many reasons I will never own an iPod is that the FairPlay DRM is best described as stifling. Of course, that only applies to music purchased via iTunes. I don't think Universal is that smart or saavvy, but it might not be a bad idea to actually wait and see what develops today. The good money is on them doing something boneheaded, but you never know.
