Actually, the facts suggest otherwise: the music industry is already moving
away from DRM. The latest example: Deutsche Grammophon, one of the oldest and most respected record companies in the world, is getting ready to launch its new online MP3 store. The music will be sold DRM-free. Read about it
here.
DG is joining two of the world's largest online music stores (Apple and Amazon) in selling music DRM-free. Why would they do this if going DRM-free were a "disaster"?
