Zune gets NBC anti-piracy filters as iPod champions fair use May 8, 2008
Isn't this ironic: Microsoft is kowtowing to NBC and is working to install a filter that would block "illegal" copies of TV shows, while Apple of all companies is actually willing (so far) to forego NBC content to avoid being forced into an even more restrictive DRM scheme.
