I actually support the idea of DRM as well.. Just not the way that it's been implemented to date. While the cost of music is horrendously over-priced and a user should be able to do with it what they want to, I think that music distribution that is free and un-checked isn't right. I make a point of buying most of the music I download. I like to check it out first, if I really like it I go out and support the artist. The problems come from the damn record companies that try to extort every penny out of the consumer while delivering less to the artists.

Digital music spreading is great for artists because it helps bands like Arctic Monkeys get recognition. But they need to see some benefit other than everyone downloading it for free.
