NYT Opinion Piece on DRM And P2P

Posted by Zonk on from the good-morning-music dept.

bsartist writes "The NYT is running an opinion piece written by a working musician who has a pretty healthy dislike of copy protection and DRM. From the article: 'As for musicians, we are left to wonder how many more people could be listening to our music if it weren't such a hassle, and how many more iPods might have our albums on them if our labels hadn't sabotaged our releases with cumbersome software.'"

    That their practice of using apostrophe's to indicate multiple CD's is very distracting, and is spreading to other place's. Thank you!

    I am at the point where I won't even look at NYT links. They have adds everywhere, surverys between pages of articles, on top of the forced registration. Add in Maureen Dowd and I would rather read Zonks blog than NYT.
