One loss for the DRM camp?

I guess Sony will have to try again, since their first attempt was really bad.

I have to say I was realy surprised when I first learned that their devices would not support the mp3 format (which does not support DRM). This really hurt them; I saw people buy the device then be shocked when they learned they had to do all sorts of contortions to get their device to read their music. This is clearly good news short term for the consumer in terms of rights, but it could just be a small battle that was won, where as the whole war is much bigger than that.
