I recently read a diatribe by an author about how great and wonderful DRM is. And how it saved the music industry. And how they believe they “added something unique to the market, and I believe I deserve to be paid for my work.” And how ebooks are in decline. And how “a lack of DRM decimated the music industry.”
Geez. Some people.
So let’s set the record straight:
“Lack of DRM” had absolutely NOTHING to do with the changes to the music industry. In fact, having DRM wasn’t even thought of when uncompressed, unencrypted music was being sold for years and years and years in the form of CDs.
