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.
