Excellent comments. I recently bought an album from
an indie site, cost $4. I was very happy with the
music, I can play it on any MP3 device, and two of the
songs hit me pretty hard, I was thinking "wow, this
artist is really special" when I got an e-mail, written
by the artist, thanking me for the $4 and asking if
I like the music.
I wrote back explaining how happy I was, including that
she had chosen this excellent marketing model and that
the money I spent went right to the person who had just
made me happy. All of it. And there is no way this
young musician would be able to fund development and
management of DRM - if that was part of the picture she
would probably have gotten a bill for $400,000 and I
would never have bought the album. And anyone that wanted
to badly enough would have been able to break the DRM.
