Xeni on Steve Jobs "drop DRM in a heartbeat": ABC News, NPR

On today's edition of the NPR News program "Day to Day," I spoke with Alex Chadwick about Steve Jobs' challenge to record labels — drop DRM.

And noteworthy for BoingBoing readers… on today's "Day to Day," my NPR colleague and fellow Sabbath devotee Luke Burbank reported on the news that Ozzfest will go free-admission in 2007. Link to that archived audio, and here was a related BB post from yesterday. (hmm… bat-eating: vegan?)

Also today, ABC News ran a segment about the Steve Jobs DRM announcement: Link to this video clip (screengrab at left), and here's their entire webcast for 2/7/2007.
