DRM = Evil

You know it's bad when the creator of the most widespread DRM says it has failed miserably. There has to be a better solution to this, I certainly wouldn't mind paying for music if I knew that the artist was going to get their fair share of the money.

A great quote from John C Dvorak "During the heyday of Napster and open free music sharing and trading, when million of people swapped songs, the CD business was booming. Once Napster was shut down, and along with it the social network of music discovery, sales began to plummet. They are still falling."

"Apparently these people are clueless about their own industry and how it works."

It seems like the record industry is figuring out that it's lost it's monopoly on music distribution and is trying every trick in the book to hold on, only time will tell.
