Even the RIAA, the last and most fierce supporter of DRM, is forced to raise the white flag and declare that his beloved pupil is finally dead and buried. It then closes the era of the absurd restrictions on sacred right to use legally purchased music in a way that he likes best.
His tomb lies in DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, minions of the major and the music industry. In recent years, its mission has been to limit the rights of users in the use of sacred music, regularly purchased.
Throughout its history, has even infiltrated as a rootkit on users' computers, completely unaware of his presence. Lately, however, his career suffered a sharp decline, gradually losing the support of the various record companies that had previously sworn allegiance: Universal and EMI, Warner, Sony-BMG, even the Apple ' had excluded from music sold through the iTunes Store. DRM was the only remaining part of the RIAA, which has always hoped for a return to large dusting of this technology and has never truly believed that it was doomed to extinction.
Instead, the RIAA also is forced to say goodbye adored DRM. The company, one of the most controversial of America, is the same that has dragged in court, among others, the poor Jammie Thomas, who is seen pronounce a conviction bordering on the absurd: for 24 songs shared Online, she will have to pay the astronomical figure of 1.92 million dollars, about 80 thousand dollars a piece.
Singled out from other majors as the only company that still persisted in making money with technology now extinct, but the RIAA is forced to say goodbye to DRM, it has always defended to the hilt. A spokesman from overseas, Jonathan Lamy, in recent days has said ironically: "DRM is dead, right?". Sign of forced leave, the company would have much preferred to postpone.
So he falls, the last bastion of DRM technology that after a long agony, may declare definitively dead. His remains lie in the recent CD-audio and music: DRM goodbye, do not you will be missed.
