Er... actually, if the band is signed to a record label, they will almost certainly have to buy the CDs that they are selling at their gigs from their label -- they can't just duplicate their own and sell them.
It seems like its a way for Apple to say, 'Look, no one is going to be using OS 9 on any of our new machines, so if you want people to continue to purchase your products then you need to develop programs and drivers for OS X'.

Software like (for example) QuarkXPress is cross-platform, and is a market-leaders. Ultimately, if you're buying a new machine specifically to run a particular piece of software, you will buy the machine that runs that software the best. Classic-only apps (like XPress) run better on Windows than on the Mac. It's a shame, but there you go.
...what Brilliant's response would be if anti-virus companies added definitions to their software that would seek and destroy the client. Or if Microsoft created a 'security patch' that disabled/removed the software.

The winners appeared in The Hollywood Reporter (and presumably Variety) on Monday, so this is hardly a big deal...
