Indie artist says DRM is “extremely stupid” July 6, 2006
From technozid.de, BB, the German bitpop group Bodenständig 2000 is done with itunes and DRM. While some members of the band think file sharing may contribute to lost revenue, DRM is most definitely not the answer, at least not for them, and they have finally managed to opt out.
“We know that mp3 is part of our relative
poverty, but Apples proprietary digital rights
management is an extremely stupid answer.”
I have never seen Digital Rights Management used to do anything other then infringe upon the rights granted to the public by law. More and more artists are realizing that DRM is the worst thing you can do to artistic expression, aside from a good old fashioned book burning.
