Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead - Peter Jenner | The Register

Big labels are f*cked, and DRM is dead - Peter Jenner | The Register: "The record companies have managed to establish, and I think incorrectly and it should be challenged, that a download is a replacement for a sale. Here's what they're saying - it's a mechanical, so it's the same as selling a record. Then the logic goes on: a download is a certain technical process that puts it onto your machine. So anything which does that is a download. Therefore, anything delivered in that way is a sale: so we'll pay you as a sale."
