Survey says: only DRM-free music is worth paying for

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the largest surveys of music consumers to closely examine the question 
| of Digital Rights Management (DRM) has an important two-part message for the 
| music industry. The first is that DRM is definitely turning consumers off 
| music sales, and charging them extra to get rid of it may be an uphill 
| battle. The second message is that knowledge of DRM and its problems is 
| spreading fast.
