\nSAN FRANCISCO–Rob Glaser has made his peace with Microsoft’s Bill Gates. Now, the RealNetworks chief executive is turning up the rhetoric against another technology icon: Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
\nAt the Digital Living Conference here on Monday, Glaser told a packed hotel ballroom that Jobs & Co.’s refusal to make the iPod compatible with music services other than Apple’s iTunes was “pigheadedness.” Glaser also said that Apple’s unwillingness to cooperate with other online music vendors promotes piracy of copyrighted materials and will eventually draw the wrath of consumers.\n<\/p>\n

\n Video: “Apple’s pigheadedness.” <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nThese are heady times for Glaser and his Internet multimedia company, which announced in October that it had reached a favorable settlement with Microsoft<\/a><\/span> on the $1 billion lawsuit RealNetworks filed in 2003.\n<\/p>\n \nUnder the deal, Microsoft agreed to pay $460 million in cash to settle the antitrust claims and will also pay $301 million to support RealNetworks’ music and game efforts. In addition Microsoft will promote RealNetworks’ Rhapsody subscription music service on its MSN Web business.\n<\/p>\n
