That would have to be one of the worst ideas ever.
Not if you're a copyright holder standing to make sack-loads of cash off of people buying multiple copies of a single product for use in various devices. It's a publisher's wet dream, besides making each individual pay for experiencing a book/song/movie (and don't think that ain't in the works, either).

That is pretty lame. I will continue to rip any cd that I purchase to my iPod. If I purchase an album, I consider that to be my property to distribute freely among my various media players (cd player in the car, iPod, winamp, etc.). Imagine buying a copy in the store to listen to in the car, and then a separate copy for use on portable players. That would have to be one of the worst ideas ever.
