Post #284,938 by pwhysall 5/19/07 3:36:02 PM Reply	I'm in the future, baby. Buying unencumbered music like I do is what the industry is slowly, painfully moving towards. EMI have taken their baby steps on iTunes. The rest will surely, reluctantly, awkwardly follow. I don't buy the MS analogy. MS obtained and abused their monopoly position by actively excluding competitors from the marketplace. The major labels are completely powerless to stop eMusic from selling me indie music without DRM. MS could indeed stop PC manufacturers selling me OS/2.

Yeah, "Can't get music", as you yourself said -- or did you not write the great-great(-whatever)-grandparent post: "Mind you, if you like mainstream music (I don't), you're probably screwed."? THAT is what I am on about, Mr Attention Span. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.)

Post #284,954 by pwhysall 5/20/07 2:12:51 AM Reply	Probably isn't "definitely". I said that because I haven't wandered around ITMS looking for examples of mainstream music that's sold DRM-free (as is the case with EMI artists) because I'm not interested in those artists. That's all. No need to get all logical-competitive about it.
