Hasn't just about all music opted out of DRM (not just "1.99"). I just bought a CD, and I was able to download an MP3, DRM free, immediately (and it was a lot more than $1.99).

2. DRM can be easily broken is another widespread misconception I have seen, well every encryption can be broken by a skilled hacker but he would probably target popular DRM schemes such as Adobe's etc and then there would be number of other DRM solutions from less known vendor how can a ordinary reader bypass them when no crack is released for them?
I think every ebook DRM scheme has been broken, except for LRX.

And if it hasn't been broken for your vendor, just buy from someone else and sideload, same difference?
