Music body calls for DRM to be scrapped on music downloads
The trade body that represents digital music retailers has come out and said that record labels should abandon DRM restrictions on music downloads. DRM causes confusion and uncertainty among consumers, said the report.
ERA Digital came up with a plan to address the matter of digital music download sales, including the idea of commercial filesharing as opposed to forcing ISPs to rat out their own clients.
The British government has consistently warned ISPs that if they cannot come up with a means of dealing with filesharing, then the government will force legislation upon them.
ERA Digital thinks that rather than working against changes in music, record labels should work with the flow and attempt to exploit the systems that are already in place. At the moment, record labels are haphazardly lashing out at anyone within reach in the never-ending battle against filesharing.
