I thought that most piracy was in 3rd world countries like China
which copied cd's by the millions.
These companies should be the targets for the music business not
their customers.

In fact, Sony/BMG press releases have referred to "casual piracy".
They
know they are not going to outwit the dedicated hacker who wants to
post the stuff on P2P networks--they will fight and are fighting that
particular battle with lawsuits and legislation.
And this is precisely the fallacy of DRM. It only takes ONE PERSON in
the entire world to go to the lengths required to rip a cd and put it
on p2p, and it's there for everyone. Why should I pay money for a CD
which I can't actually play the way I want, when I could just download
it for free and use it however I like? By doing this they are actualy
discouraging me from buying their product. How the braindeadness of
this doesn't sink in is quite beyond me. Casual piracy is a myth, the
vast majority of illegal distribution happens via p2p and DRM does
NOTHING to prevent that - it actually encourages it.
