DRM
Like many others, I have fully embraced the convenience of modern, digital technology. My 80 gigabyte Zune goes with me most of the time. I enjoy the freedom of having my entire music library available whenever I crave Rachmaninoff or The Moody Blues. Just this morning, I bought an album of Jackson Berkey choral music off Amazon. I use Pandora and YouTube to find new music that interests me. For the musician and music lover, we live in a golden age. The only threat to this amazing system will be to fail to innovate an effective, win-win solution to the questions of defining copyright and fair use. And yes, innovation will have to be the key. The solutions of yesteryear are insufficient, and our current stabs at copyright enforcement, like DRM and the DMCA, miss the mark.
