Re: RIAA House of Cards

I see what you are saying, but I think you need to better parse out what you mean by DRM.

DRM, as a whole, ain't going anywhere. Neverevernever.

Methods of enforcing (read: being a pain in the ass to consumers) DRM will fluctuate and perhaps become quite transparent over time.

EMI's PR brainchild is to sell *some MP3s online with no DRM-crippling stuff built in. yay.

It is a useful PR move, and it's even more useful when, after selling DRM-free MP3s, they can say "see looky we're still getting pirated as much (if not more)."

win-win as they say.

I can't refute anything you're saying. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
