Are we forgetting the difference between free as in freedom and free as in $0? Isn't that what open source is all about.
I would never make the argument that musicians shouldn't get payed and payed well for their work, but for the copyright holders to dictate how, where, and under what circumstances I listen to music that I've payed is the problem with copyright law.
I should have to pay for music. I shouldn't have to pay for the same song four different ways so I can listen to it in my car, on my Ipod, computer, and home stereo.
The problem is the distribution companies. When artists wise up and realize they don't need record labels or movie studios anymore, we'll all be paying for DRM free content - and the artists will get rich.
This is why we have lobbyists for these big companies trying to avoid extinction.
