IMHO I don't think it's Gruber being anti-Steve as much as your misunderstanding of what drove Mr. Jobs, marketing, and his reality distortion field. I thought you'd be more familiar with Mr. To me it has nothing to do with being a "Steve fan" or not, tho you might disagree? Gosh, not a Steve fan? Who'd have guessed!Gruber? I wasn't aware he had any issue with Steve Jobs. He may not have been as firmly "against DRM" in all cases as his statements may have implied. Mr Jobs was also famously known for using public statements as a negotiating tool. He argued (successfully, in the case of music) that charging a reasonable fee per title was a much better strategy to minimizing piracy. It was they who insisted on locking up content delivery in order to charge more. Steve Jobs famously and routinely lamented the movie studios and music labels forcing Apple to implement it on iTunes.
Apple may be a stickler for security, but they really haven't been fans of DRM.
