Blueice has it right. The bottom line is that for the majority of people out there, DRM is no big deal. Its not that they don't care in the abstract, but it is pretty easy to buy a song from iTunes and be able to play it on your computer, your ipod, and burn it to a cd. As a result, there is not significant market pressure to get rid of DRM, which actually is a boon to established companies.Only when enough competition exists among on-line music stores, and enough customer pressure exists, will the major players and the record labels feel any pressure to ditch DRM.

Record labels need to realize that all their artists make their money by touring, and by killing off cd sales, they're killing off the artist by destroying distrobution.
