Let's face it. This isn't about games anymore.
What the hell happened to DRM?
Okay, I've been kinda offline for a few days, nearly a week. I've been swamped with the Calls For Cthulhu thing, building a new set, filming new segments, learning how to mix them, etc.
When I left you people, everybody was saying that Internet piracy was ruining music sales, and big companies were all using competing forms of DRM to protect themselves.
Less than a week later, and it looks like it's all changed!
Steve Jobs said that he hates DRM, the RIAA let slip a quote that admitted DRM was all about controlling legal content for more sales, EMI said that they were going to start selling their music without DRM, a report came out showing that Internet piracy was "statistically insignificant" to music sales, and now the Yahoo Music Chief comes out against DRM. . .
What changed? I mean, was Jobs' complaint that big a deal? Was he so important that these companies had to fall all over themselves to follow his lead, even allowing the DRM reports to get out? I mean, any day now I expect to hear that AllOfMP3, despite having broken no laws, may not be operating illegally after all!
It's a madhouse, I tell you! A madhouse!
