“Qual a diferença entre as músicas do Musig e as gratuitas que estão na internet? As músicas que você encontra gratuitamente na internet são ilegais. Ao baixar uma música que não segue o padrão de ilegais DRM você está colaborando com a pirataria. Já as músicas do Musig seguem o DRM e por isso são legais protegendo os direitos autorais dos artistas, gravadoras e editoras. A qualidade das músicas também é muito superior às encontradas gratuitamente na internet.” musig 08 de fevereiro de 2007

Interoperability Apple's iTunes hits a sour note in Europe (FT) iTunes (Apple) Norway Germany Holland Finland France http://www.ft.com/cms/s/b6d322a2-af3d-11db-a446-0000779e2340.html

interoperability + DRM/TPM “Thoughts on Music” Steve Jobs 6 February 2007 http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/

“Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead” Peter Jenner (first Pink Floyd agent, The Clash, Disposable Heroes etc.) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/03/peter_jenner/

is he right ? ? ?

“The CD as it is right now is dead” Alain Levy EMI´s former CEO October 2006 http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2006/10/27/tech-cddead-061027.html

then . . . “Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead”

“Music is never going to be protected, and anybody who tells you that is not being honest. Yes, you can put up speed bumps, but the people who really want to steal music are going to steal it. So you’re just making it hard for people who want to do the right thing to get the music they legitimately purchased on the devices and services that they want.” David Goldberg Yahoo! Music October 2006 http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/683

then . . . “Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead”

just some (more) examples . . .
