Aaron, What about the pirates that would charge $25 for a disk that costs them a dime to manufacture. I would like to think that technological advances that make products more affordable would be passed on to the consummer. Instead, the recording industry engages in corporate piracy to gouge the public AND the artists. How do you feel about an industry that would first sell you a product with an exorbitant fixed price, then treat you like a criminal for trying to make a copy of YOUR disk? Savy artists now manufacture and market their own product over the internet, bypassing the recording industry. I am a shameless music pirate, and will tell you how I do it. The Hawaii public Library system has a wonderful eclectic collection of CD's. You can even order them online to be delivered to your local branch from any library in the state. AAAAAR me bucko! I also support new and lesser known artists directly by utilizing I-tunes (which allows you to make several copies)AAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrr. So Aaron, if the music industry stopped robbing it's customers, and treating them like criminals, DRM would be unnecessary.
