What is the cost?

What is the cost that the customers are going to have to bear for this failure?

Frankly, I am getting tired of paying extra for services to "protect" Big Businesses outdated business models and their "innovative ideas" that are plainly obvious.

The legitimate customer gets hammered with all of these failed DRM, patent lawsuits, and protecting broken and outdated business models.

This kind of garbage is exactly why I do not buy any music any more. You have lost a customer who bought music (probably for life). Just keep hammering customers with more burdensome costs. You will loose more.

The reason for music sale decline has nothing to do with pirating and all to do with the limited resources of your customers. There are far better entertainment options that give far more bang for the buck. Movies and video games come immediately to mind.

I bet that video games have been pirated as much in their history as music. Yet, the video game industry has growth every year.

Make a poor product (like most music) and watch sales tank. It is that simple.
