This Post is Old!

The post you are reading is years old and may not represent my current views. I started blogging around the time I first began to study philosophy, age 17. In my view, the point of philosophy is to expose our beliefs to rational scrutiny so we can revise them and get better beliefs that are more likely to be true. That's what I've been up to all these years, and this blog has been part of that process. For my latest thoughts, please see the front page.

Yahoo! Music Against DRM

The Yahoo! Music Blog reported this week that Yahoo! has convinced Sony BMG to release customized Jessica Simpson tracks as unrestricted mp3s. Yahoo! points out that the only ones who benefit from DRM are the companies that make the technology. As far as musicians, labels, and consumers are concerned, the music provider is spending more money to provide less value. Go Yahoo!

More unrestricted mp3s were released after consumers were convinced the're getting more value out of it instead of getting the DRM music. It is far much better to have more options for output format these days but I’ll settle for MP3 any day as long as I can truly OWN the music.
