That's what I wrote back in late 2003, and as of January 4, 2008,
<a href="/linkto.shtml?www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/01/last-major-label-gives-drm">all four of the major labels now offer MP3's without DRM for sale</a>.
I commend the RIAA and the music industry for listening to the
voice of reason.  As for Hollywood and the movie studios, that's still
another story...
