Does this protect music at all, or just the movie industry?

Digital rights management was included in the recording of
many CDs - only to find that the CDs wouldn`t play on certain players.
Hi Fi News carried an idea that the DRM track could be removed with
a felt tip pen - this proved to be untrue.
The Beatles` label announced that the last re-issues of their tracks
would be DRM free and they sold in the millions.
However, I bought a recent Beatles compilation CD only to find
that it jumps on certain tracks - a pity they don`t take bit more
care over their production.

It seems to me, then, that the technology could be applied to MP3 files
with no problem, as the playback system does not vary from player to player.

The problem is that the guys,who dream up the .solutions for the piracy, are
essentially same guys who find ways to continually circumvent the solutions.
As far as computer chips with built in safe guards to prevent piracy are
concerned, what about the myriads of the computers already existing without
these pirate proof chips? ,_by the time the "new" chip replaces all the
existing chips, I won't be a composer anymore. I'll be a decomposer. Plus
a black market will be created for illegal chips without the safeguards. _
True enough. But don't forget the famous words of ol' Angelo that if you
can write one hit, you'll just be able to keep churning them out forever...
Anyway, I had thought about this, and it's obviously the case. The
reason I didn't mention it was because it struck me as insincere that
the movie industry would be (pseudo) protected, yet there was virtually
no mention of the music industry ion the article at all.

Also true.
