Quoted from MrStan:
"Linn would be wise to issue the material at a reasonable price, under
UK law obtaining any further agreement with their customers will not
make any difference. It is the price that encourages the pirates, if
people think they are being ripped off then they will look for
alternatives."

I willingly pay their price for excellent music at high resolution
where I have no tax or delivery charges. I will have no problem
honoring their EULA.

Having no DRM probably works for them primarily because their market is
so sparce (on a world-wide scale) that there really isn't much social
connectivity (and hence "sharing") between customers. Perhaps also they
cater to a demographic that can easily afford their downloads and value
intellectual property.

Just guessing.

But it is interesting that the conclusion they came to is that DRM
really doesn't work (for them) for a variety of technical reasons. The
only way it works is if you funnel everything through proprietary
software like the iTunes model and many of us really don't want to
stick our heads into that noose.

PS How does one do quotes here?
