1. Sony makes gigantic announcement about DRM-free music.
2. DRM-free music is so limited and aggravating to acquire, people don't bother and continue buying DRM/pirating.
3. (Future) Sony scraps plan as "failure": goes back to DRMing all music, and references this "test" when people ask why they insist on DRM.
I know with most of the people I associate with, commercials are just a time to go get something done during a show, or talk about things while there's no content playing. No one's really paying attention to the ads.
On the reverse angle, internet ads are streamlined into the content more often than not. Plus, with systems like AdSense at work, the ads are related to the page you're looking at (which is most likely something you're interested in), whereas while the ads on TV have a targeted audience, they aren't exactly 'user specific'.

Isn't copyrighting a geometrical figure about the same as copyrighting a number? How exactly do they plan to go about doing this?
