Yahoo Exec Says "Enough DRM"

Posted by kdawson on from the content-is-not-context dept.

bogess writes "Yahoo! Music General Manager Ian Rogers recently gave a speech to some music executives about the future of the Internet music business and promised his company will not be involved in Digital Rights Management anymore." Another straw in the wind: Nine Inch Nails has now followed Radiohead in ridding themselves of the labels and going independent.

    Aaaah. I thought he meant quality of the music itself, rather then the quality of the music file.

    Although its interesting to see people say how they demand DRM-less music (all the while pirate mp3s) and then demand DRM-less music in a high quality file format (all the while pirating mp3s). I'm guessing some people just want an excuse to pirate and will never be happy.
