Yep, Steve (who thanks to owning iTunes is probably the most powerful man in downloaded music) is calling for the record companies to drop Digital Rights management. He claims (rightly in my opinion) that it has failed to stop piracy. He also points out that CDs, which account for 90% of sales, are generally unprotected..
I personally hope he succeeds..
