"Some of the top Sony BMG artists who had XCP placed on their CDs are complaining directly to the label heads, furious that it will hurt their relationship to their fans and their sales as they go into the massively important Christmas season. Add that to rising number of anti-DRM voices within in the company who have been against DRM as only hurting "the people that are doing the right thing and buying our music." This all means that some of the label heads are finally starting to believe that DRM is just bad for business."
Sony of course will claim they have moral high ground in spite of hurting their customers, their suppliers, and no doubt their employees. Just what is the point of this malevolent middleman, anyway?
