If I cared more about this I would be interested in reading the actual study when it's released, because the press release pretty much said nothing more than "researchers say DRM not good."
I do find the following quote a bit odd coming from a person who is supposed to have conducted academic research..
Quote:

"[The late] Steve Jobs said it best: 'Why would the big four music companies agree to let Apple and others distribute their music without using DRM systems to protect it? The simplest answer is because DRMs haven't worked, and may never work, to halt music piracy.'" Vernik said.

Haha. Gee whiz, I wonder if the study is riddled with confirmation bias.
