“Flexible”?! DRM is a curse on any form of media, and it only helps to protect the profits and market-share of record companies because they can’t find a good way to embrace the internet, so they fight against it.

Either way, they’ll eventually loose. If not in the US, they definatly will in Europe, where their lobbyists don’t have so much control.

For a chuckle, here’s the article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4627368.stm :)

This BBC news arcticle made me chuckle:

Global court action against music file-sharers has not reduced illegal downloading, an industry report says.

The level of file-sharing has remained the same for two years despite 20,000 legal cases in 17 countries.

All they're doing is hurting themselves with all these lawsuits it seems.

Also this made me laugh:

Mr Kennedy, writing in the report, said DRM "helps get music to consumers in new and flexible ways".

What the f**k? New and flexible ways? New? Hardly. Flexible? Certainly not.

Anyway, why do I care any more? I use legal, DRM-free downloads anyway ;)
