Accept DRM? Not sure I really care. My computer habits don’t include movies or music. (I have been a Linux user since about 1995)
BUT, the author suggests something that makes a lot of sense. If the “artist” had a medium whereby they could collect their fees they would no longer need the “Music Industry”.
The computer as a tool has made that VERY Possible.
I only buy speculative fiction from writers that I can read for free. If they write crap, I'm not paying for it. If it's good, I'll pony up for it. I try to deal with authors directly (some are set up for that). Same with music. I won't buy music except directly from the artist, after having a chance to hear it before I pay.
Not that in this economy I'm spending much money on books or music.
