Digital Music and Copyright
As with photographs and digital images, digital music needs to be copyrighted.
I believe in the artist's right to protect their music and lyrics. Unfortunately, this is a losing battle for many talented artists whose work is pirated everday.
You can say that Internet is the great equalizer, and it seems that the majority is indeed enjoying the creativity and talent of a handfull of artists. But at no cost?
Media should pay per use rights, but not the way iTunes uses the DRM tool.
From exploring the music sites, my favorites are Liveplasma and www.mystrands.com ( because it gives you the option to listen to the song, before you buy it).
