the article forgot all of itunes — oh yea that needs more time to be a full debacle. Don’t think it will – 100s of millions of folks paying for DRM that only works on one device, just wait. The mother of DRM debacles in the making.

I feel compelled to post a comment now because the guy above me has the same name as me. I, for the record, did not leave a comment saying how much I enjoyed reading my own article. It is pure coincidence. And also, thanks Adam.

How about the fact that Microsoft’s own Plays for Sure technology does not even work on the Zune. Only songs purchased in the Zune Marketplace can be played on the Zune.

“Most people, I think, don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?”

Wow. That’s like saying, “Most people in the poorest regions of the world don’t know what AIDS is, so why should they care about it?”

As an interesting aside: A year and a half ago, I posted a video on youtube of a video game. The music i put with the video was Glenn Frey – The Heat Is On. The video was only about a minute long, so the song faded out, and really had nothing to do with the video, it was just a funny song to put with it. A few months ago, Universal Music Group filed a copyright claim on my video and put ads on it. Was my video harming sales of Glenn Frey albums? I hardly think so. Whats next? Copyright claims on videos of parties where you can hear a song playing in the background?

Hilariously written!

About the first place, how can you forget the quote of Sony BMG’s global digital business division President Thomas Hesse – “Most people, I think, don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?”

Record companies make more money on the Internet
than they do at stores. Otherwise, there would be
no Internet music business.

Restricting consumers in any respect has never made sense. The only real way to address piracy is to offer people a realistic alternative which is easier and safer to use – cue ad-funded services like We7.
