Jim Benton replied on Oct 9, 2007I assume the boycott will be for Universal Music Group products only? There are many labels embracing DRM-free online distribution, although it seems to be mostly independent ones.

I’m certainly not one to defend major labels, but I think you need to be a little more specific. EMI sells DRM free music through the Amazon mp3 store and Warner just announced plans to do the same. Also, I think Sony/BMG just recently made an announcement that they admit that DRM has pretty much failed and they have plans to drop it in the future.
I think it might be helpful to those involved to point out which labels are still refusing to sell in a DRM free format. For the ones who are starting to get it (EMI/Warner) you can suggest that people buy ONLY from the non-DRM sources. You want to send the message that they can make more money selling everything without DRM.

I simply will not purchase music or anything else which will install DRM information on my computer or limit my use of my purchased copy, and I think that labels should know that and be required by law to make it clear whether their files contain DRM information or not.

I have a huge music library, I listen to it every day, and I don’t steal music.

I think it needs to be a boycott of DRM-protected music only. I mean, that is probably obvious, but unfortunately it’s not in the pledge terms. So is that the case?
