Key Quote:

Musicload said that artists choosing to drop DRM saw a 40 percent increase in sales since December, and that more artists and labels are showing interest.



Just about everyone expects DRM to disappear at some point, sooner or later, as a matter of natural order. Everyone except the RIAA and Msft.


Yes, but it is somewhat remarkable that the bands actually make more money without DRM. The copyright holders/labels want us to believe that bands will make less without it.
