I hope the music industry continues to hurt
by bobby_brady April 13, 2007 7:49 AM PDT: I hope the music industry continues DRM, this will help accelerate their painful losses.

Read yesterdays WSJ opinion page, where DRM was the subject and how the music industry was saved by Steve Jobs. Well, I have to say I wish Steve Jobs never did "save" the music industry. The music industry executives and managers have to be the biggest dipchits out there. Their current practices will make great textbook business cases on what not to do for future college business students.; Reply to this comment View all 2 replies

I've never understood Michael Robertson
by wangbang April 13, 2007 10:43 AM PDT: Everything he comes up with--I don't know, to me they sound pointless. I can buy a CD on Amazon for cheaper and then rip it. I don't get what he's offering with AnywhereCD.; Reply to this comment

Do a sell and buy back
by breslin April 14, 2007 5:48 AM PDT: AnywhereCD should "sell" the Cd, rip it to MP3 as a service (which Warner apparently is OK with) and then buy the CD back from the customer. The process can be repeated over and over and be completely legal. Of course, Warner would only get the revenue from one CD sale. Or, Warner could get their head on straight and allow the MP3 download, without all the CD sales and buy back, and earn a license fee for each sale.

Maybe AnywhereCD is already doing a version of the "sell and buy back" effectivly cutting Warner out of the loop which would rightfully **** Warner off.; Reply to this comment View reply
