Fair Use is Fairly Awesome

Putting digital rights management (DRM) technologies into music is counterproductive. It's impossible for music producers to effectively stop large scale piracy and distribution of their music using DRM (see the analog hole). However, producers can use DRM technologies very effectively to annoy and drive away customers. People would rather buy legitimate copies of the music they listen to. Provide affordable, high quality, easy to use music, and people will buy from you. It's that simple.
