That's like saying that writing is no good and the only good story is 
one spoken by a public speaker.  :)

They each require skill in slightly different (but related) domains. 
Production (and I don't mean turning up the compression) is an art just 
like performance is.  I love a good live band, but if you limit yourself 
to only live performances (and recordings of live performances) you lose 
out on a lot of interesting music.

Anyways, I'm done bitching.  :)

As far as being on topic goes, DRM sucks, but I unfortunately vote with 
my apathy.  :P  I use iTunes music store fairly often, but I'll buy CDs 
as well.  I know I should care, but it's hard to when no matter what you 
do the artist is still getting screwed.
