or alternate title: "Whats mine is no longer mine".....
Check out this article over at ars technica: A CD insert to make Sony blush. Glad I read this article...I was actually considering buying the Cold Play CD....not any more....f' 'em. Now, I'm all for paying the proverbial artist for the proverbial art....but the RIAA and other big players in what is being called DRM (digital rights management) have no idea...or at least seemingly don't care about (undoubtably to thier own eventual demise) the end user, their customer, their "bread and butter" as it were. None of the current technology-based DRM schemes in place or even in the pipeline (at least as far as I've read) consider the end user and his/her relationship with the artist creating the product.....I haven't figured all this out yet, but here is some more interesting (if not somewhat outdated) reading on the subject:
Scott McCloud's "micropayment" idea
and a response...
more later....
