Week6 Is DRM the best way to save the music industry?

DRM, which stands for Digital Rights Management is basically a set of rule and controls that limit what you can do witha digital music file. DRM is a way to try and stop you from doing certain things to a music file such as copying, downloading for free and being avle to open or play the file on different devices. But is DRM the best way to save the music industry? I do not think that DRM can totally save the music industry, but i do think that it can help. DRM can be found on CDs and music websites such as i-tunes. Without DRM there would be no limitations or any control of what you can do with a music file, but with it makes it possible to protect and securely deliver musicfiles. It can also help consumers stay within the copyright laws and artists and record labels can still get their money from thier music. Although there are ways around DRM which may be illegal, it still happens. So in all i think that DRM can not save the music industry by itself but it can help.
