Digital Rights Management, has plenty of rules for music. The problem is that the rules were either not well thought of or is feeding the greed of the seller. If I buy a song for 99c, I as a customer must be able to listen and copy the song to wherever I want. But that's not the case with DRM copyrighted music.
Let’s say we are in the 1980’s . I go to the music store and buy a cassette of my favorite artist’s new album. While buying it, if they ask me to sign a contract saying, I am licensed to play the cassette only in my living room, wouldn't I think the seller is nuts? This is what DRM is doing these days….. Well I find that a very funny licensing term.
I’d rather buy DRM free music from eMusic or Amazon.com
