Yahoo Exec Says "Enough DRM"
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."

Popular music that sucks gets DRM'ed. Music that sucks that nobody listens to... why even bother?
--The recording industry in particular has shot itself in the foot repeatedly over the years.
