More on DRM
The Guardian on Thursday had a detailed exploration of the possibility of major online distributors of music (although the principle will be extendible to other media) dropping DRM. The idea of letting users own content that is free of restriction is clearly something that is going to provoke all kinds of debate. To this end, Warner Bros have declared the dropping of DRM to be 'without logic or merit'. If the industry does follow the urgings of people like Steve Jobs and drops DRM, you can be sure Warner will follow suit - especially if it means they're losing revenue as a result of a principled stand in favour of DRM technology.
