I think those of us who spend time talking about and writing about technology and music make more of the DRM issue than the average consumer. Most iTunes users play their music on iPods, on their computers or burn it to CD’s. They use iTunes because it is convenient and works well with their iPods.

If DRM was of significant importance to the average user, Amazon would’ve had customers FLOCK to them to buy MP3’s, especially since Amazon already offers deep discounts on album downloads.

But they didn’t because the interface and ease of use are more important than the rights protection for most people.

Doesn’t mean I’m not glad it’s gone or that it isn’t a move in the right direction though.

Yes I read it, long story, not a lot of news, bid disappointing to read that Douglas Merrill “the saviour” adds little to the ancient record company wisdom. And “yes we artists driven”. Dream on.
