Analysis: As far as the Recording Industry Association of America is concerned, Digital Rights Management is dead. Or at least very stunned.

Digital Rights Management is "sorta" dead. Officially "sorta" dead. Well, officially "sorta" where the Recording Industry Association of America is concerned.
Earlier this month Jonathan Lamy, chief spokesperson for the RIAA, commented in an e-mail message to SC Magazine: "There is virtually no DRM on music anymore, at least on download services, including iTunes." In other words, the RIAA is sorta admitting that DRM is sorta dead.
Of course, that doesn't mean that DRM is even vaguely dead in other alternate universes such as the one inhabited by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), or, for that matter, the one inhabited by Amazon.
