DRM Has Problems: Bill Gates

December 20th, 2006 by zune

Bill Gates, in a small group of high profile bloggers said that he is not happy the way DRM is done. He expressed his disappointment in the overall situation with DRM. He said “it causes too much pain for legitimate buyers”.
He said:

DRM is not where it should be, but you won’t get me to say that there should be usage models and different payment models for usage. At the end of the day, incentive systems do make a difference, but we don’t have it right with incentives or interoperability.

In summary Bill Gates said:

People should just buy a CD and rip it. You are legal then.
