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.
