Wal-Mart Drops DRM Servers, Customers Lose Music

Wal-Mart Drops DRM Servers, Customers Lose Music

"Wal-Mart is just following the recent trend of screwing over customers by dropping DRM, as led by Microsoft and Yahoo. Sure, customers can burn their DRM songs to a CD to preserve their songs after the DRM servers are shut down, but why should customers be punished with extra work for buying their songs legally? Can someone remind me how is this supposed to prevent piracy?"
