Clearly, they think the answer is "yes". Can't blame them for business as usual, but the folks that know better can certainly get a good laugh at it. | |

Verbena, AL | I tell you what.... if they want to "license" music that way.... I'll be asking them to provide me with a new CD every time one "wears out" or stops working.... because after all, they think we payed to listen to the music, not to "buy the media it's on". | |

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | Maybe it's "pro-consumer" like a logo.... Maybe the RIAA is thinking songs are like Chanel bags--as in the bulk of the value to the consumer is to be able to wave it around and essentially shout, "I've got one and you don't!"
With that approach, the RIAA has missed my reason for acquiring music, but then I don't have white ear-buds, either.

Nevermind that it's a vicous cycle, the more they charge the more people will pirate, leading to a lower average price per song as more and more are obtained for free. | |

Ann Arbor, MI | It is true DRM generates more consumers since you have to buy a new copy for each device that you want to use to play your media. That increases consumer value, also know as more consumers equals more money, to the companies with DRM protected content.

Give up the whole push for calling CUSTOMERS such a flaccid thing as "consumers" of a product. We do not care for such terminology.
Here's a concrete example: Digital RESTRICTIONS Mish-mash is pro crap, it is NOT what's 'good' for CUSTOMERS.
Here's another concrete example: eMusic is hugely successful without ANY form of Digitized Restrictions Market-speak, without huge marketing, without huge label support. Grow up. | |
