According to vnunet.com, a member of the band Switchfoot published information about how to bypass digital rights management (DRM) technology for their most recent CD, sold by Sony, which undoubtedly reserved DRM as a right. While I have been unable to find what this bassist published, this type of reaction by a musician to the activities of his label probably does not hearken well for a follow-up album by Switchfoot on Sony (if they even want one). Of course, if the CD makes money, then maybe . . . but that would mean, among other things, not bypassing DRM and forcing repeated sales. Ah, the confusion and anarchy of the modern music business.
