EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry vs. RIAA President Carey Sherman On CNBC   February 07, 2007

I have NO problem with DRM subscriptions services... not the .0001% of the market that uses them.

The thing is is the PRIMARY and most OBVIOUS business model as so proven by emusic and others is the one record labels are so obviously avoiding.

There's really only two options... either you rent music...a' la' drm' or you own music, NO DRM... playfair is a lie... at best it's glorified rental.

The thing is people want and like to own and it's all the majority will accept. Music with any kind of drm will never be ownership.

What's more there's the WHOLE range of "experience" based business model this idiot is ignoring... focusing on merchandising, concerts, specialy music formats and albums... there's more than a market then ever for this stuff. People will even still by CD's or other future high def quality packages of music, video, art.

Hell the music industry could make more money selling music posters then CD's. Each way of experiencing a band has a different quality and value. My absolute favorite example of experience based marketing is ArtistShare. It simply rocks. $10 will get you the mp3's. $16 will get you the CD... and you can work your way all the way up to $18k which will get you dinner with the artis, a walk in the park, and a special mention on the album credits. In between are everything from DVd's to concert tickets.

$10 alone for the mp3's and an email when they are released is worth the convience.. and that's $10 of pure profit not spent on the overhead of packaging.
