   Its wasted a ton of money, and at the best has held people from the content illegally maybe a month.

   Even England admitted it was losing its empire at some point.

   Well, yeah, if there's a business that supports it DRM won't die. What the RIAA is trying to tell its sellers is that it's a bad business move. The RIAA is the last group to adopt new economic models and new tactics for making a profit from content, so when they stand for something the lagging back half of the industry follows. It's a statement to its sellers, therefore it is trying to get companies to stop using DRM as a business tactic. The RIAA is projecting a message for its members, and that's the purpose of their statements to Torrent Freak.

   Great new read: the book by Chris Anderson called FREE: The Future of a Radical price.

   Actually, I thought the RIAA itself was the back half of music. You know, the south end of an art form headed north.
