RealNetworks misses point, promises iPod ‘fix’

We reported yesterday about RealNetworks tracks being disabled by recent iPod updates. RealNetworks claims they have no idea why this happened. Apple claims they gave fair warning.

Not only is RealNetworks sticking its head into the proverbial sand and pretending the disabling update wasn't intentional, but they are also working on a 'fix' to the issue. No ETA on when Harmony, the DRM-busting technology, will be 'fixed,' but RealNetworks Inc. spokesman Matt Graves promised to restore 'compatibility' with affected iPods.

The more important issue perhaps may be, Does Anybody Care? As
reader Madrigal pointed out, the disabling update came out last month, but nobody seemed to notice until this week. :)
