UK Music Retailers Beg, Drop the DRM

thefickler notes that consumers aren't the only ones carrying "Death to DRM" placards. UK music retailers are telling the recording industry enough is enough — that the industry's obsession with copy protection is hurting, not helping, profit. Kim Bayley, director-general of the UK Entertainment Retailers Association, said that the anti-piracy technologies are not protecting industry revenue but instead "stifling growth and working against the consumer interest." The ERA hopes the industry will drop DRM in time for the holiday season. Good luck with that.

FYI, ERA asks BPI to drop DRM ASAP.

It was my understanding that the UK had thanksgiving as well. The only difference being it falls on July 4th.
