Music Digital Rights Management

When Yahoo released a DRM-free single (by Jessica Simpson of all people) back in July, it barely made a ripple. But when Steve Jobs just talks about supporting the removal of DRM from iTunes, it gets everyone going. I thought actions were supposed to speak louder than words?


When will music's Big 4 realize that they've lost the battle on this? Yahoo advocates that companies are spending too much money on developing DRM-related technologies while Jobs spins that most people are putting DRM-free (ie illegal?) tracks onto their iPods already.
