Though what is occurring with Apple iTunes is encouraging, I think it's important to understand that just because some of Apple's partners agree to strip DRM in favor of inflating their prices by 30% or more on certain songs, this does by no means suggest a DRM future. The fact is, there are hundreds upon thousands of publishing houses of all types. Not until we come together and put in the effort to create legislation that protects consumers from the incessant and intentional vulgar abuses on behest of these corporations will we not truly see a future free from digital restrictions management. I just wonder how much lobbying effort the very same corporations put in to pass legislation such as the repulsive censoring digital millenium act.
