I do not know if I agree or disagree on that...

I know is BAD and SAD use other's people content on the servers.
We here have a policy of TRASHED all the custom content the Client brings, just after the show, in front of the client, unless asked otherwise. Like we will be doing a Tour, or doiong that particular client again.

That way, the client (Designer, Company) be more likely know we will be not using any custom content on other shows.

Is hard, but all word is trying to take DRM out, like Apple itself (as you mention before) has a strong lobby to get DRM out of theier store. They are already sellin g DRM free content, and called iTunes PLUS.

Also will be hard to keep all the licenses and all working fine, like ArtBeats will have one license, Digital Juice another one, my Client will hire 3 diferent content guys (that happens a lot on my world here) and each one will have a diferent one.

I do not think this is the way.

Just my 2 cents...
