MP3 != giving away content.

No more so than records or CDs. Both can be copied. So what? So can SDMI.

As it has so elequently stated here, most consumers play by the rules. THAT is what artists will have to depend on.

SDMI solves nothing. There's nothing stopping somebody from copying SDMI. It all has to be converted into sound waves, and before being converted into sound waves, into analog electrical signals, and before being converted into analog electrical signals, into an unencoded digital representation.

Take your choice as to where to copy it.

The American public will always reject this kind of foolishness. (They only tolerated it with "copy-protected" video tapes because it is so laughibly simple and cheap to defeat). Ask Circuit City, the last one that didn't get it. (with DIVX)
