Problem And Solution, Unmatched

From BBC News:

MPs in Digital Download Warning - UK Politicians complain that consumers should be told upfront about DRM [digital rights management] limitations at the point of purchase

Swedish Row Gathers Pace

Universally compatible DRM and subscription-based distribution of music and other via P2P as well as direct download would allow people to listen to their music on anything, at any time, anywhere. Artists would be accurately compensated on how many plays their music had had. And all the energy being focused on this silly proprietorial rubbish could be usefully directed elsewhere...
