Sure the music industry has alienated a whole generation of listeners. REAL fucking smart. A lot of people didn't buy music not because they want something for free because they didn't want music with DRM that limits how they can listen to music they paid for. Why pay 99 cents for a song that can only be played on certain music players? Amazon now sells non-DRM music by the major labels. And the # of people paying for music has gone up. Hmmmm. I think the getting rid of DRM has more to do with that than lawsuits.
