“If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store…in a heartbeat.” — Steve Jobs, Apple Inc.
One other good point from the MetaFilter comments - the Big Four music companies already sell 90% of their music DRM-free (via unprotected CD’s) so why are they so set on having DRM on digital music? Ease-of-transfer? If I buy a CD it takes me about five minutes to burn it to MP3 and put it on a P2P program if I want. What’s the difference? Nadda.
