Kabir Chibber, Quartz; Steve Jobs licensed Amazon’s one-click patent for $1 million in one phone call
"“Licensing Amazon.com’s 1-Click patent and
trademark will allow us to offer our customers an even easier and faster
online buying experience,” Steve Jobs said at the time.
A Wired magazine oral history
of Infinite Loop, Apple’s corporate offices in Cupertino, California
for most of its existence, tells the behind-the-scenes story of that
decision."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD

iTunes Music Store Finally Ditches DRM, Adds New Prices, Wired.com, 1/6/09
Via Wired.com: iTunes Music Store Finally Ditches DRM, Adds New Prices:
"After years of fits, starts, threats and ultimatums, Steve Jobs and three major labels have come to terms on a deal: Music will be available immediately on iTunes without DRM restrictions. Free of the limitations that currently restrict music playback to Apple products, the new plan will let consumers choose from three price levels instead of the 99-cent song model the store implemented on day one."
