Hey its all about the money and nothing else. Customers are not happy with copyprotection that is one thing thats for sure. Record company's are already taking care of the complaints by telling them how to get around the copy protection. Point was, there is room for discussion on the issue.

t d j, Not too long ago vinyl sales were in the Billions and CD sales were only in the Millions, today vinyl sales are almost nonexistant, cd sales are in a steady decline, meanwhile downloads are increasing at a feverous rate, now if you were going to place your product (music) into distribution, are you going to place it on vinyl, a very unpopular format, CD, a format whos popularity is in steady decline and which has a limiting distribution, or are you going to want to place it in a quickly expanding distribution format, a format that is available world wide, infact in every there is a computer and internet connection, the instant that the work is released, even better, a distribution format that opens up a whole other world of unlimited potential and additional benefits to the artist, the publisher, as well as the enduser.

I know this, if Im the artist, I want the widest, most accepted, most flexible, fastest, and least cumbersome distribution that I can get, and everyday the download is becoming more and more that solution.
