Rhapsody: A Music Service for Linux Users
,----[ Quote ]
| What About DRM? The fact is that DRM is costing the music industry
| money, period. Whether it be the driven movement of an entire
| generation of Linux users going to independent, non-DRM music
| or those same users downloading the music illegally from P2P
| service, DRM has done nothing to stop piracy.
|
| In contrast, technologies, such as Digital Water Marking for
| music are not only likely to prove more reliable than DRM, but
| it also opens the music industry to any platform instead of
| remaining slaves to the Windows and Mac worlds.
