The voices against DRM are increasing in volume almost daily. Scientific American's recent article lays out in clear language what we've been saying for ages, " If the music industry truly wants to loosen Apple's iron grip on digital music sales, it should start allowing music to be sold without digital rights management protection." >> DMW
Gotshrimp >> I agree, companies like Apple and MS are playing the wrong game. I hope Sandisk will be smart enough to offer DRM free downloads and protect the content via another mechanism. The 4 major record companies are still fighting illegal usage of their music, so it will be almost impossible for any party to get a DRM free contract. I wonder if everybody realizes that their are two choices. 1. Almost all music is available for free without DRM on illegal filesharing networks and other places on the internet, so this is the first option for music lovers. 2. Buy a DRM protected file from a legal service. OPtion one gives access to over 40 million tracks and option two gives access to over 3 million tracks. For me a no brainer.
