I’m a nobody and Edgar Bronfman is a millionaire hundreds of times over, but the man is really off the beaten track. This is what happens when you get disconnected from everyday life because you live in a lap-of-luxury-bubble. Jobs may be a bubble-boy too, but he’s been right and Edgar has been wrong on digital music, so maybe Jobs is sucking some air through a pin-hole in his bubble.

Fred is right–I don’t care where my music comes from as long as it is on the iTunes music store and can play on my iPhone/iPod. I think most people in this regard are like us. DRM-free music will not win out of principle. Why? Because people care about convenience more than anything. They don’t want any hassle in getting their music, movies, tv shows, and video. Hassle means you’ve just lost them. They don’t want to configure a (non-DRM Open-Source) Linux tard-box or tard-pod so that said tard-machine will sync and then play their stuff. They just want their stuff. To play on their iPod. Now. ASAP.

With how well everyone other than the iTunes service is doing in the digital music business and from the drop in CD sales falling faster than a lead brick because Bronfman & Co. are doing such a grand job of managing Universal, if Universal…er, Bronfman is stupid enough to leave iTunes, after a few years, it just might be cheap enough for Disney to buy for pennies on the dollar. I’m sure Disney’s largest shareholder and Board member will be glad to suggest that when the time comes.
