Work hard to make sure that CDs using intrusive and possibly illegal DRM are the ones MOST ACTIVELY distributed via P2P.
This should be done not because "information wants to be free", but rather because businesses who engage in these sorts of practices should be made to fail financially.
When the labels have their annual shareholders luncheon and are forced to show the fancy Powerpoint presentation entitled "Effectiveness of DRM Solutions at Limiting Piracy", the graphs should be embarrassingly skewed in the wrong direction.
The only thing that works is money. So make sure they, and the band, see none.
"The band?! Surely you can't be serious?! They're probably just innocent victims." Bullshit. No one forced them to sign away their souls like whores. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Sony and all others of their kind are customer hostile. Take your music elsewhere. Because that's what I'm doing with my money. And if you're only in it for the money, then you don't get to have any.
