Well, obviously, this means ad-supported music sites don’t work, right? To my mind, that’s not exactly true. These sites had more than their ad-supported nature in common.

They both also used DRM (Digital Rights Management) which stopped people using the music on many common players.

When will the music business finally wake up to it. DRM Doesn’t Result in Money!
