“Freelance technology journalist” Don Reisinger has an interesting article here:

As music downloading (and dare I say illegal downloading) continues to rise, these music companies bury their heads in the sand and blow policy out the other end. Instead of understanding customers and realizing that what we want is readily available music without DRM, Warner and its friends have decided to bully us in the hopes we’ll stop. We won’t.

Much more elegantly put (I love the visual metaphor), but the sentiment is exactly what I’ve been saying for nearly a decade.
