| 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.

| trying to play Devil's Advocate, I can't even think of one reason why DRM is good or beneficial
I mean, it's not like they let you take your old Records/cassettes in to exchange straight up for CD's or DVD's, or whatever new media format comes out |

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. |
