Morris was convinced that Jobs had the technical vision that was lacking at the music companies.
莫里斯承認(rèn)喬布斯具有唱片公司普遍缺乏的技術(shù)視野。
"Of course we have to rely on Steve Jobs to do this," he told his own tech vice president,
他和自己的技術(shù)副總裁說：“我們當(dāng)然要依靠喬布斯來做這些。
"because we don't have anyone at Universal who knows anything about technology."
因?yàn)榄h(huán)球音樂集團(tuán)里沒有一個(gè)人了解技術(shù)方面的知識(shí)。”
That did not make Universal's technologists eager to work with Jobs,
但這番話并沒有使技術(shù)人員愿意與喬布斯合作，
and Morris had to keep ordering them to surrender their objections and make a deal quickly.
莫里斯只能壓制住他們的反對(duì)意見，并快速促成合作。
They were able to add a few more restrictions to FairPlay, the Apple system of digital rights management,
他們給蘋果的數(shù)字版權(quán)管理系統(tǒng)FakPlay又增加了一些限制條款，
so that a purchased song could not be spread to too many devices.
保證已購買的歌曲不會(huì)被下載到太多設(shè)備上。
But in general, they went along with the concept of the iTunes Store that Jobs had worked out with Ames and his Warner colleagues.
但是總的來說，他們都比較認(rèn)同喬布斯與艾姆斯及其華納的同事研究出來的iTunes商店的概念。
Morris was so smitten with Jobs that he called Jimmy Iovine, the fast-talking and brash chief of Interscope-Geffen-A&M.
莫里斯很欣賞喬布斯，他立刻打電話給音樂集團(tuán)旗下公司IGA的董事長(zhǎng)吉米·約維內(nèi)，他是個(gè)語速很快又有些急性子的人。
Iovine and Morris were best friends who had spoken every day for the past thirty years.
他和莫里斯是很好的朋友，在過去30年中幾乎每天都有交流。
"When I met Steve, I thought he was our savior, so I immediately brought Jimmy in to get his impression," Morris recalled.
莫里斯回憶道：“當(dāng)我遇到史蒂夫，我就感覺到他是我們的救世主，所以我立刻把吉米找來，給我們?cè)黾狱c(diǎn)兒印象分。”
