Certainly none of what you say is an unbreakable law. Most people I know downloaded or swapped thousands of songs back in college, but we all pay for music now and most of us don't use file-sharing or sneakernet anymore. The convenience of iTunes/Amazon is too great. I don't buy that much music because I have very little money, but I still don't use file-sharing services--they're just too much trouble compared to something like iTunes or even Amazon. And those files are DRM-free because customers preferred it and rightsholders eventually saw the light. Will that apply to books? Perhaps not, since they're more expensive. I don't assume that a well run market can persist without DRM, but there is a model for how it could work. |
