Net radio "compromise" hinged on DRM adoption

,----[ Quote ]
| As we reported Friday, the looming royalty crunch on Internet radio that 
| would have begun today (July 15) was narrowly averted last week by a 
| temporary reprieve from SoundExchange. Now it appears that a lasting 
| compromise is indeed possible, but such a compromise will likely mean 
| mandatory DRM (Digital Rights Management) for Internet radio.

| Unfortunately, he also pointed out that the US government also seems

| at the moment is the attempt by the US government to force other 
| countries to adopt what they call US-style "Intellectual Property Rights".
