Digital locks, yeah right

It's a losing battle to heap on protection after protection without addressing honesst consumers needs and the flaws in the current path od dissuading Iillegal" behaviors. Ppl have worked around each protection scheme, and have hacked everything down to the iTunes service for allowing the copying of others stored media ala Kazaa styed sharing or using the low tech marker (a sure to be banned tool of mass piracy), so the music industry needs to find consumer goodwill and loyalty tactics, not Big Digital Brother and locking out ppl from what they purchased, it may knock down a few local "piracy" numbers but does nothing to ensure loyal and sustained growth. These few years ahead may see a rise in independent labels and artists as they craft the tech that'll liberate them from the need of the standard contract and finally break the blackballing process big media has had in place for over half a century. The music industry has done such a poor job inspiring goodwill and consumer loyalty they've fostered hatred of their luxury industry, which has unfortunately hurt true artists and workers in the industry, as the execs huff and puff over how much they need to sue 12 yr olds quietly.
