Comments on: Did an RIAA guy really say DRM is dead for music? Great news if it’s true—but consider the source http://www.teleread.com/drm/did-an-riaa-guy-really-say-drm-is-dead-for-music-great-news-if-its-true-but-consider-the-source/ News & views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:23:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bill McHale http://www.teleread.com/drm/did-an-riaa-guy-really-say-drm-is-dead-for-music-great-news-if-its-true-but-consider-the-source/comment-page-1/#comment-1108266 Bill McHale Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:04:16 +0000 http://www.teleread.org/2009/07/20/did-an-riaa-guy-really-say-drm-is-dead-for-music-great-news-if-its-true-but-consider-the-source/#comment-1108266 I think this is less a policy of the RIAA and more a recognition of fact. Apple, through iTunes, now offers lots of music without DRM and Amazon ironically, offers all of its music files DRM free. Even the designer of the Titanic recognized that the ship was doomed when it hit the iceberg. -- Bill I think this is less a policy of the RIAA and more a recognition of fact.
