Hi! Let's talk about DRM-music. I beleive the DRM system just hurts the rights of the subscribers. I've bought a handful of songs from iTunes and they were found worthless for me (my mp3-player can't support protected format). Is it fair to strip away the DRM for private use?

Roxie I think you will find DRM is a necessity now a days, it is not perfect and will never be. There are too many systems that are not compatible with each other. And honestly DRM just keeps good people honest, it is soooo easy to get around the rights management. Just burn your songs to a cd in iTunes and you have bypassed DRM... It will never go away, if you don't want to deal with it then buy the album at a retail store.

I kind of wonder if Roxie is a spammer, I edited the post so it wasn't pointing to a product.
I have to agree with Mr.X you have to have some sort of rights management, in a ideal world there would be one standard that was cross platform. Since there isn't you have to make a choice on what you are going to use, my wife and myself both have iPods, so we use iTunes. If I had a different player I might choose somewhere else to get my music from or I'd just buy the cd's. I still like to get cd's, the problem is cd storage, I have hundreds if not thousands of cd's. I'd prefer to not have to store them, but I don't want to get rid of them either.
