Yahoo Music Chief Comes Out Against DRM
waired writes "It seem that a trend has begun in the music industry after Steve Jobs essay. Now a senior Yahoo chief has spoken out in favor of Apple CEO Steve Jobs' call for major labels to abandon digital rights technology (DRM). It points out that consumers are getting confused and that the Microsoft DRM "doesn't work half the time"."
If Jobs really cared about the DRM debate, he would 86 DRM now, along with all content who's distribution requires DRM, then focus more on smaller name/obscure artists to sell without protection, and could offer a much broader range of music.
Jobs is only on our side because he knows this will increase sales -- which it WILL, we've been saying this for years, just look at allofmp3. But for him to 'wait' until the content producers give the OK simply because he would loose out on a smaller piece of a smaller pie shows what a greedy, money-hungry, uncaring communist fuck he actually is.
Grow some balls Jobs, if you really want to kill DRM, then do it NOW.
