DRM adds no value

quotes:

"Our position is simple: DRM doesn't add any value for the artist, label (who
are selling DRM-free music every day - the Compact Disc), or consumer, the
only people it adds value to are the technology companies who are interested
in locking consumers to a particular technology platform."

Dave Goldberg, the vice president and general manager of Yahoo Music urged
record labels reconsider their stance on DRM technology earlier this year.

Wow. I couldn't say it better.
