Unfortunately the content industries (represented in the US by the RIAA and MPAA) don't get it. Instead of a great opportunity, they saw digital music as something to fear. DRM gives them a means of control. But they're too afraid to give consumers what they want. They're afraid that what consumers want is for them to become obsolete.
