BBC NEWS | Technology | Music execs criticise DRM systems

Interesting article - but of course, if someone from the BBC interviews people at major record companies, how many of them would really and openly admit that they want to dump DRM ASAP because it's destroying their business? This is like asking people if they download music from p2p services - their answers will always be skewed by their apprehensions. I think the real number of people that want to get rid of DRM is MUCH higher.
