This technique is used to great success in many business ventures, and now it is just being employed a bit more openly. The RIAA knows that digital is here to stay, and all these guys that join company forces in an attempt to blend in are just taking the opportunities out of our hands and keeping the reigns of power in their grasp. If anyone has half a brain, they would avoid doing business with any of these quislings, as the first thing they will do is make sure their profits are maximized while the customer rights will be forced into the basements and locked away so securely you will NEVER be able to get out from under their control. Let us hope consumers are smarter than that. Either that, or we are all doomed to a life of trash and DRM infected files that won't allow anyone to do anything at all with them.
