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. -- The worm he licks my bones |
