DRM-Free iTunes

Cadeonehalf:
A solution that was proposed to me regarding Game Piracy might work here-
The focus of the Music Industry shouldn't be to prevent pirates from pirating their music, but instead should be to convert those pirates into customers. The person in question (site is http://shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale) recently put Valve's STEAM as a good example, since it offers online content that wouldn't be easily accessible to your average pirate.

I don't know how you can make that work especially with Music, but perhaps a system that offers additional rewards for legally purchasing the music would be better than draconian DRM methods that can be broken in a week.

This is really only tangentially related, but this video on YouTube about the Amen break is an excellent lesson on how a rich public domain is essential for the arts. Might be a nice starting point, something to look at.
