In the same interview he basically blamed playsforsure failures on MS's "business partners" (failing to mention, of course, that their MSN Music service tanked worse than any of their partner's services) keep fightin’ the good fight brotha – you’ll win :-) drm blows… did you hear that quote from ballmer that they’re putting their money on zune’s drm? that’s so sad.

Is this really the way the record labels view reality, or are there some executives looking forward? Can the record labels seriously not see that there will be NO MORE CONTROLLING DISTRIBUTION of audio without value added????? Trying to control sharing of the "plain audio" (no value added) will be about as winning a battle as, say, trying to charge kids for memorizing and verbally sharing song lyrics. This would be waging a battle against human nature. It would take a society like <a href="http://dickmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/10/north-korea.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> to accomplish. re: “…record labels recognize that it’s tremendously important to protect content from unauthorized distribution…”
