Austin Web Designer - Adam Freetly

Ian Dixon's Podcast about DRM is very interesting. it's an interview with Robert Weber and the head of the DRM team for windows vista. The interview plays out as a direct conversation between DRM writers and a DRM user, which is a much better feedback loop than 'if you don't like it, don't buy it'. Weber's heart is in the right place, he wants the artist to get paid. Since he's a software engineer, not record exec, i can believe him. That's in spite of him lumping all DRM-haters into 2 categories, people who think it's too complicated, and people who think the artist shouldn't be paid.
I'd like to put myself in a third category: DRM can't solve the problem of the artist being paid. This is how i can agree with his idea that there isn't enough DRM. a universal DRM scheme that could enable Jonah's yard sale without artists worrying about their hard work being taken for granted would be worth surrendering a few rights.
