Re: DRM makes paying for something worthless.

Thasp, maybe I'm not following very well, but your whole post is criticizing DRM-based services, and this article has the BT chief saying he's against DRM and wants to go ad-supported instead.

I agree most of the pay-for-download services are bad, but what Ashwin Navin describes is different. BT handles big files well so there's no reason they can't be good quality, and with no DRM on them, and good prices, I might subscribe.

The question in this case is whether the copyright owners will get a clue and admit that potential customers dislike DRM, and license the TV shows or whatever to the service.
