Fucking. Amazing.
March 31, 2007 (Hollywood, CA) – Music industry executives announced this morning that they were withdrawing support for the trade group the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and launching a new representative body called Respect the Artist, Respect the Audience (RARA).
...
In announcing the break the four major record labels Sony/BMG, Warner Music, Vivendi Universal and EMI have also committed to dropping all pending lawsuits, and will instead join with Apple and Microsoft to create an environment where Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology will be eliminated from their online music stores.

yeah, i'm the same. it's being reported on the bbc as well though.. I'm fairly confident they're not fucking around.
in any event, these aren't people who believe music piracy to be a laughing matter, so i can't imagine they'd do something like this as an april fool's

Yes, even if the 'RARA' thing is a joke, what about the BBC article?

Other record companies would soon follow EMI's lead, predicted Mr Jobs.
Let's hope..

Wow, anyone would think Jobs little open letter about DRM free music was designed to try and get support for this. Paying more for less restrictions? Fuck off. They shouldn't be there in the first fucking place.

Change music to milk.
Imagine if you bought a pint of milk but you weren't allowed to use it in the production of anything for your friends or to give them some because they have to buy their own. The milk is really good and you want a friend to taste this bit of it but you can't. They have to buy their own to taste it.
