The reality is that content providers are stuck in their ways and if people  
do not play along, they get nothing. Google caves in because of YouTube and  
Netflix does because they rely on content for their business. Microsoft is a  
fickle bitch either way because they will add DRM yet won't ship royalty free  
codecs in their browser. It's silly because the Opus codec is based off of a  
Skype codec that they own.

I do like the watermarking concept the best. People can play it on any  
device, but if a single copy gets distributed too much, they can locate the  
source. It keeps people honest if they want to give money to independent  
publishers or some guy who wants to sell a performance.
