| OK enough of DRM already! OK, when will the idiots realize that most consumers, myself included do not want to pay for something that restricts how or where you can play the file! Music services such as napster, itunes, walmart, yahoo and whatever else is out there are a neat concept, but as I've said in the past, if record labels would even just try and offer services like this, without DRM all over the content, I believe more folks would be happy to pay for the content, since it could be played on any operating system, or any portable device! Now how hard is that to understand? You can play cassettes in any tape deck, you can play CD's in any CD player, so why be so restrictive as to what devices/computers can play content! another disadvantage of DRM files, is should you have to reload your computer system, backing up your DRM files is useless since you can't play them anyway! It sucks. And yes by nature non DRM files would appear on p2p networks, but that's just a fact of life that the RIAA needs to live with. If they offered downloads from their own servers which would be connected to multiple OC3's or OC12's, it'd be the best of both worlds, the consumer gets what they want, and the RIAA wins, now what could be wrong with that? The unfortunate thing is DRM must do pretty well, since I've yet to hear of any ways to crack WMA files such as those from Napster. I personally use those services only as a last resort if I can't find tracks by any other method! Again give us a service that anyone regardless of device or operating system can use! | |

Dallas, TX | All valid points there. The music industry really needs
to sit down at the table and work out something with the
p2p companies to offer their content in non DRM restricted
format on the networks. Shawn Fanning has got kind of the
right idea with Snocap and Mashboxx, and at least one of
the majors, Sony/BMG (and perhaps EMI as well) has signed
onto the new p2p network. But it is too little, too late.
The current offerings are dwarfed by a factor of more than
1000 by the content traded on the non industry approved p2p
networks. And despite the lawsuits and other actions taken
by the content cartels, their usage keeps increasing. They
will never compete with them with what they are offering now.

I personally have not tried it, (I don't use any DRM music services) but I hear people are using Virtuosa and Tunebite to get aound the DRM.
Tunebite rerecords the song as it is played on your PC. Then saves it as an mp3... According to their website its legal... | |

i P2P because i feel that DRM takes away the rights we should have. imagine if CDs knew where they had been used and it didnt play in your home stereo because you played in your car on the way home from the mall. thats what DRM does and if i buy something it is now mine and i should be allowed to do with it as i please not what some exec who probally has to hire an electriction to plug in a coffee maker wants me to be able to do with the file.
