Presumably, consumers concerned with the ability to make back up copies would choose to purchase music from a service that allowed such copying.
The message I take away from this is that the RIAA is saying DON'T buy CDs with DRM. Buy the music from a service that allows copying.
Message Recieved, I'll never by another DRM encumbered CD. Now if they would just mark that on the packaging of the CD instead of hiding it, I will be in good shape.
How is this new? My nokia 3390 from 4-5 years ago had integrated aol instant messaging. In my mind they need to use a standardized protocol instead of inventing their own closed protocol. How about putting a jabber client on every phone? If each provider ran their own jabber server and peered between them everyone could talk to just about anyone. They could even peer with other jabber providers like google talk so people could chat with computer users as well. This isn't rocket science so why do they feel the need to re-invent the wheel?
