DRM Hurting Sony Sales

Following the Sony fiasco is like watching a soap opera. I can’t get enough. Fully understanding the technology and the situation makes it even more entertaining. I saw this article today reporting on how the artists are being affected by Sony’s rootkit exploits. Nice job, Sony. Just like the article says, how long before one of the artists sues Sony for hurting their sales? I’m unhappy about it and I didn’t even buy one of the affected CDs!

I am far too impatient any more to buy a physical CD. Thank you iTunes and Yahoo! Music! I wish iTunes would offer a subscription-based service soon so I could drop my Yahoo! Music account. The UI engineers at Apple really have it together. Yahoo! makes a good effort but their application is very lacking in usability and excels piss-off-Eric-ility.
