DRM has gotten such a black eye with legitimate purchasers of music MP3s that public resistance to DRM will increase. While think tanks and groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation continue to put forth arguments against DRM on the basis of principles of freedom and theories about innovation, the impetus for public dissatisfaction with DRM will be simply that people will want to be able to enjoy their music and movies using whatever platform they choose, without technological hurdles being placed in their way. The resulting economic force in the entertainment market will engender a new paradigm for handling copyright and other intellectual property issues. I do not have the foresight to predict what that new paradigm will be.
