UK retailers to record labels: DRM is killing us

In response to declining music sales in the UK, the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) has called for the music industry to put an end to DRM. The organization—which represents retailers who sell music and DVDs—blames draconian digital copy protection technologies for the slow growth of the digital music market. ARS
I have been writing about DRM for two years now and I wonder why it took retailers so long to speak out about this silly copy protection technology. Anyway, it's about time this technology becomes obsolete and music becomes available in a better way. I have a bet that 2008 will be DRM free, it feels different from the other big liberations in history though. Mark You will have to pay for dinner in Toscanini ;-)
