Readers of a certain age will recall the pure joy of cracking open a ten-pack of cassettes. With their miniaturized spools and narrow ribbons of tape, they were relatively flimsy objects. The plastic shells cracked, the screws came loose, the metallic oxides flaked off the tape itself. But for males (and females) of a certain nerdish propensity, they had a futuristic allure.

Maybe record labels are finally starting to get it. Well, they have to start getting it pretty soon, because there 's nothing like the prospect of extinction to get those innovation-juices flowing.

Watching the whole "Digg revolt" tonight has been amusing. Mad props to Kevin and his team for making the right decision in the long run. It took them a while to get there, but I can certainly understand why it did. Must've been a really rough day. By the way, did the MPAA really think cease and desist letters would make this "code" go away? Is that *really* how completely and utterly inept they are at understanding today's world? Because holy shit, that's fucking ridiculous! I can't even fathom a scenario where people are still that stupid. But apparently, they are. We're behind you, Kevin. Fight the good fight.

What happened on Digg yesterday did not have to happen. It was the wisdom of the crowd spiraling downward into a perfect storm of mob rule. The two main factors that contributed to the strength of said storm are the Digg community's disdain for DRM and the general unawareness of the fact that Digg has moderators.

The Wall Street Journal disclosed that EMI is in negotiations with several digital music services to sell unprotected MP3s of its catalogue. Jobs was motivated at least in part by legal actions against Apple in Europe and the US as discussed below. But whatever his motivation, Jobs is right: DRM has been a disaster for the recording business.

In a nutshell: DRM's sole purpose is to maximize revenues by minimizing your rights and selling them back to you.
