iPhone App: Alchemize
I'm actually okay with "weak" DRM or low quality, cheap digital versions for sale, but when it seems the content owners make it difficult to enjoy a product because of piracy fears, that's where I get annoyed.
My previous employer had a pretty cool hardware product that was crippled by draconian DRM - but that's a story for another day.
Until the record companies all get on board, and international barriers are erased, legal downloading will never have a chance to surpass file-sharing in the marketplace.
By the way - I did stop by the Virgin Megastore and got "Baby Pop" and "France Gall". 7.99 a piece. So the music industry still got my money - despite a lot of inconvenience. Now I have rip-friendly CDs, though.
