How many times have you paid for a single song?

Did you realize because of DRM that if you really liked a single song you would need to pay for it at least ten times to be legal. A recording industry executive was quite pleased we have so many choices when he rattled of this impressive list.

“ringtone, master ringtone, phone download, phone stream, a-la-carte download, disc, subscription, online stream, UMD music for PlayStation, kiosk and video. Without DRM, these options simply wouldn’t be possible.”

I don’t know about you but are these some crooked bastards or what. [Techdirt]
