DRM only harms the paying customer. If people want the music for free
they will just download Limewire and get it without DRM. The people
who actually fork over some cash will be the ones who have to deal with
the problems created by DRM. I know many consumers don't mind leasing
music from ITMS, but that is probably because they don't understand
what they are buying (or aren't buying). I'd be all for purchasing
music in Vorbis, but I will tell you that releasing DRM'd music in
Vorbis seems counter-intuitive. If you really want to do DRM use a
codec that has it built-in already, that players already support.
Artists sell CDs even though they are completely unprotected. Sure
some people will copy, but using DRM won't really stop that.<br>
