Everybody loves to bring up MP3s as an argument in favor of the notion that, if someone stands up to DRM, the entire industry will shift to no longer require DRM. And that's complete bullshit. You're extrapolating a very extreme position from a single instance, one that is arguably unique.

Not only that, but it's also wrong. Music DRM did not die. DRM on purchased music went away, but streaming music still has DRM. So the music industry didn't even completely ditch DRM like you claim it did.
