For me, the best part is where it says that 90% of the music that the "big 4" sell is DRM free... because they're from CDs, that can be imported to computers and distributed ilegally with the touch of some buttons... Makes me think if DRM really works... at least for the purpose it was created for It’s a great article, I printed it and already read 2 times.

Unless they can pursuade the music industry to drop DRM in their contract renewal, DRM will be upon us for quite some time. I don't see how Apple can pursuade the music industry to drop it, it just has no quantifiable benefit to the industry. Apple can’t abolish DRM without the music industry agreeing to it.

Think of it as giving someone access to your ATM PIN... sure they may not use it and steal all your money, but it def. gives you less control of how, when, and where it is used. I hope they keep cranking out DRM and hackers keep cracking it personally... that way the music industry continues to play nice under a false sense of security ;) in the mean time I will continue to love Bit Torrent :D @cynic

Im teh best! Anyways, I think i remember reading a few months ago that the Contract with the Music Studios is up in the middle of this year. If thats true, this could be apples way of explaining tihs for the umpteenth time to them to just give it up already with the DRM. Cool! Im teh best!
