I guess sometimes lack of common sense is indeed the reason. But I suspect that's not the most widespread case. Here is an interesting related story: https://w

  Thanks. Sounds like the same resistance we met. I'll be honest, we didn't fight hard enough to get rid of the DRM. We had to fight really, really hard just to let the labels put the music online at all. They didn't want to cut into their CD sales and they thought CDs were forever. The only way we got meetings was by taking a celebrity musician with us (Peter Gabriel) who could open the door to any label. Once we'd opened the door to each label, Apple would breeze in right behind us and find no resistance. Later they used the Cult of Jobs as their leverage to get rid of DRM on their downloads. It looks like DRM is creeping back in again to their lossless and Atmos downloads now Jobs is no longer around to use his muscle to keep the labels honest. It's like an addiction for them, they can't stay away from it.
