its interesting to note in the RIAA’s website http://www.riaa.com/physicalpiracy.php the figures they quote about lost revenues and jobs if anyone has taken a look. How they worked them out I will never know; and I challenge you to.

Get rid of the lawyers? Uh, RIAA consists of the LAWYERS for the recording industry: companies are members of a pool sharing lawyers.

DRM originally made sense, meant to protect internal corporte data (memos, plans, schedules for those plans…) but the entertainment industry has managed to cripple it for such uses by encouraging wide availability of hacks which otherwise would at least have required some effort.

The record industry had been given countless oppotunity to do what was needed. They failed. Now they have to deal with the aftermath of their procrastination. They cannot return to the business model of yesterday. They will adapt, or die.

Okay.. this is the best blog entry I have ever read…

I wish that cds where cheaper but of course unless they do decide to stop trying to suck money out of teenagers… but of course.. its not going to happen…

Great blog entry Chris Pirillo I agree with it 100%.

DRM is the devil. Music artists should be happy that their music is being shared on the internet, it opens their music up to people all over the world and i’m sure there are plenty of people who purchase the actual cd of an artist they like after downloading and listening to a song they like.

I think the whole mess of drm really needs to be tidied up. It is severely obtuse and makes no strive for the betterment of society!

I think DRM isn’t good too. Why shouldn’t people be able to do what they want “legally” with the music they have purchased. Because of DRM, I cannot even use the music I buy in my home movies and stuff. I think DRM is just another form of Big Brother telling us what we can and cannot do. We paid for it, and we should be able to do whatever I want with it legally and on any operating system and every program.
